She is a Temple ๐Ÿ””

✨A story✨

He will not find healing in the arms of the woman who sleeps beside him.

Her fingers are warm—

but her touch does not burn with truth.

She whispers comfort,

but not awakening.

She tells herself

this is love,

this is enough,

this is the life she chose.

And so she stays.


But her soul stays small.

Bound in quilts sewn from sermons,

stitched tight with shame.

She is not a wife of noble character.

For noble does not mean obedient.

Noble means true.

And truth is not what lives in their house.


He cannot be praised at the city gates,

because he has not walked through them clean.

Because there is no honor

in playing pretend.


They were meant to rise together.

Divine masculine and divine feminine—

Christ and Sophia,

Yeshua and Magdalene,

he as fire,

she as flame.


But instead

they keep passing down their pain

like family recipes.


She hands her daughters the same script

she was given—

to hush, to serve, to disappear in the name of God.

He teaches his sons that power

is something you take,

because no one ever taught him

how to receive love

without fear.


But there is another woman—

not in his bed,

but in his soul.

A woman laced with stars and stormlight.

One who remembers the sound of Eden.


She would not shrink for him,

but expand him.

She would speak the kind of truth

that splits him open

just wide enough

to finally let God in.


She would see him—

see him

beneath the armor,

beneath the ache.

And her touch would not coddle—

it would cleanse.


She would pull the lies from his lips

and lay psalms there instead.

She would light his path

not with devotion,

but with vision.


For her love is not a transaction.

It is a temple.

And only those who dare enter barefoot

will taste its holy fire.


He will not find her

by searching.

He will find her

by shedding.

By unlearning.

By burning down every altar

he built in fear.


But if he ever did—

if he ever dared to hold a woman

made of both thunder and mercy—

he would’ve felt heaven pulse through his fingertips.

He would’ve known what it meant

to be met by a storm that loved him back.

To be undone and rebuilt

by a grace not born of weakness,

but of wild knowing.


Because she was never just a woman.

She was a mirror—

forged in stardust and softness.

She would’ve shown him his shadows and his splendor,

his wounds and his wisdom.


Not to shame him,

but to call him higher.

To remind him of the king

buried beneath his armor.

To speak to the boy

hiding behind his noise.

To awaken the man

who forgot he was divine.


She would’ve kissed his soul clean

with a fire that does not burn to destroy,

but to reveal.

And in her eyes,

he would’ve seen the man he was always meant to be—

not as he was,

but as he could’ve been.


The man his soul came here aching to remember.


But not every man can stand

the truth of his own reflection.

Not every man chooses to rise.
