WORTH SAVING???

WORTH SAVING.


Evening called as she preps for her next customer,
a man of timber and caliber🤤
Those were the only people who could pay her price.

She had painted her face,🌹
with different shining colours
Now her face was glowing
Her beauty evident.🥰

She walked to the window seat.
The seat had been positioned there for months now.
She could see the whole city from her "palace",
 beyond the walls of the city were within reach.

Suddenly, she sighted two handsome men,
presumed they were coming for her services
She took a second look
“Spies”, she exclaimed.😲

She contemplated going to tell the king
“They are too young to be killed”, she thought👀
She felt pity for them 😫
But she knew that the king's men would capture them soon.

She signalled to them to run for their lives,
but they were defiant.
They entered into the city
She saw the king's soldiers whispering to one another
She knew they had been caught.🥺

She thought of what to do to help them but there was nothing.
Suddenly there was a knock on her door
She was reluctant to open the door
She wasn't in the mood for any customer.😶

The knock came again
She decided to open
It was the spies,😲
desperate for an escape route.

So she opened up her laundry room
She had a heap of clothes littered on the floor
She requested that they stay covered
Under the clothes.

The king's soldiers came knocking,
asking for their whereabouts
Since she was closer to the wall of the city
A de facto watchman.

They decided to search the house,
but they found nothing😉
Alas they opened the laundry room,
about to enter when the leader gave an order
They had to get going.

Some minutes later
She asked the spies to come out of the laundry
She devised a means for them to climb down her wall
Prior to that time she had heard about the supreme God.

She let down a rope,
a very long rope
They climbed down the wall
And escaped back to thier town.

When they were back home
They told their master about the prostitute who saved them
The master asked
"Is she worth saving?”😲

She saved the spies from destruction
Shouldn't they save her and her family?
They made a deal🤔
They reached a consensus.

The spies remembered the exact words she said that day:
“Will thou allow me perish also?
Will thy people kill me also?
Will my favour be remembered?
Will I be recompensed?
Shall thou save me and my household?”

She wanted to be free
She wanted to be part of God's people
If you ask me I would say
She was worth saving;
So are you
You are worth saving
Come to the feet of the master.
