I read this poem in Soaring As Eagles this morning. If you struggle with feelings of self-worthlessness as I sometimes do, then this poem will be a blessing to you. You are of worth to God no matter how unhappy you feel about yourself or how badly others may treat you! I won’t go into detail, but I recently had my hair dresser suggest that my birth was a mistake; I was an “experiment,” but my sister “turned out” okay. Needless to say, that made me feel like trash, even though I know it is not true. In my weak moments that lie, straight from the pit of Hell, has been whispered to me over and over again. Don’t allow Satan’s lies to penetrate your mind. He is a liar and the father of all lies. God makes no mistakes!!! In Psalm 139:13-17 David said the follow about his conception/birth…
“Thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!”
You are who you are for a reason.
You’re part of an intricate plan.
You’re a precious and perfect unique design,
Called God’s special woman or man.
You look like you look for a reason.
Our God made no mistake.
He knit you together within the womb.
You’re just what He wanted to make.
The parents you had were the ones He chose,
And no matter how you may feel,
They were custom-designed with God’s plan in mind,
And they bear the Master’s seal.
No, that trauma you faced was not easy,
And God wept that it hurt you so;
But it was allowed to shape your heart
So that into His likeness you’d grow.
You are who you are for a reason.
You’ve been formed by the Master’s rod.
You are who you are, beloved,
Because of a loving God!
