My Lamentation of Love!

by Olusegun Mokuolu
(Nigeria)

This is a generation that loves to be married
But hates to sacrifice
Thrilled by engagement ring
But trample upon the word of God

Wants faithfulness and loyalty
But engages in sex before marriage
Speaks love all the time
But selfish all the time

A people that loves wedding
But clueless in marriage
They only know love by feeling
And not by doing

They seek love wherever it can be found
But are not prepared to give love
Knows so much about sex
But little or nothing about marriage

Talks so much about God
But never allow God in their relationships
Quick to kiss and caress
Slow to repent and forgive

Women seeking Godly men
But themselves living in ungodliness
Men seeking perfect women
But themselves full of imperfections

A generation that spend fortune on outward beauty
But remain internally corrupt
Long hours making hair
Yet finds no time for God’s word

Men who are babies
Crying always for handouts
They treasure their cars
But cannot care for a woman

Too quick to take off their cloths
Ashamed to take away their lies and deceit
Speaks so much of the opposite sex
Prays so little for the opposite sex


Oh Lord, give us a new heart
That we might love in spirit and in truth
That we might love with the whole of our soul
With the whole of our heart and strength

That we might honour you
And glorify you in our relationships
Then we can build our homes on solid rock
Jesus Christ. Amen
