The other day a friend asked me this question. “If God knew what we would become, and all of the things that the human race would do before He created us, then why did He create us at all?” I know many have asked that question, I have asked it before myself when I see all of the things that we do, when I look at our history. After she asked the question, God spoke to me one word, He said…LOVE. One little word, yet so profound. Today He gave me this poem to share with you…Extraordinary
Remarkable
Exquisite
Breathtaking
Are just a few of the words that describe what I see
When I look at you
As a mother beholds her new born baby
With such love
Tenderness
Affection
Joy
It is in the same way that I view you
You are my children
I have purposed each of you
I would not trade any of you
No matter what you’ve done
No matter what you’ve said
A beautiful array
Of different colors
Different features
Different personalities
I love you each individually
You are all perfect in my sight
As you see beauty in sunsets and sunrises
In the flowers and the trees
I see beauty in each of you
In each of my creations
I spoke everything in to existence
The sun
The moon
The stars
But not you
You were different
You were unique
I formed you from the earth
I molded you with my very own hands
That is how special you are to me
My dear children
O’ how I love you
Without restraint
Without conditions
Holding nothing back
Nothing you could ever do
Will make me love you more
Or love you less
Hear my heart today
Open up
Receive my love freely
You are worth it
You deserve it
And I desire to give it to you
Let me fill you up until you overflow
