Employed By God Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

This is not a traditional employment
I don't have the qualifications to work in God's office
I have no idea how my application went through
I don't know when I attended the interview
I was appointed by the miraculous hand of God
His Word sliced through my fears and ears
His Love found a home in my heart
I am ready to occupy the pedestal of hope
I am grateful to serve in the house of God
My spirit is very happy to work with God's people
I am ready to operate on those with non-belief tendencies
Those who have declared God non-existent
My pen is a sharp scalpel
It does not stop until God's Word is heard
It is not a bayonet but it can cut through the thickest skull
To deliver the message of unconditional Love
This precious load is the most beautiful assignment in the whole universe
It does not require any special skills or any technological know-how
It just needs me to listen to the call of Silence
And be present inside the realm of nothingness
My body, mind and soul to occupy the office of emptiness
Here I will be equipped with knowledge, understanding and wisdom
I will be given the manuscript of faith, hope and Love
Then I will be allowed to burn bright
The path of Light shall guide me into the deepest recesses of your heart
This is where I will apply the sacred knowledge
To cultivate and nourish the substance of your being
I am a gardener inside the garden of God
I am a Spirit Poet
