Unconditional Love

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 there is a God!

"For I am certain that nothing can separate us from his love, neither death nor life, neither angels nor other heavenly rulers or powers, neither the present, nor the future, neither the world above nor the world below - there is nothing in all creation that will ever be able to separate us from the love of God which is ours through Jesus Christ our Lord." ~Romans 8:38,39
When you walk to the edge of all the light you have
And take that step into the darkness of the unknown
You must believe that one of two things will happen:
Either there will be something solid for you to stand on
Or God will teach you how to fly.

WHEN I SAY
When I say, I am a Christian
I'm not shouting, I am saved
I'm whispering, I was lost
That is why I chose His way

When I say, I am a Christian
I don't speak of this with pride
I'm confessing that I stumble
Needing God to be my guide

When I say, I am a Christian
I'm not trying to be strong
I'm professing that I'm weak
And pray for strength to carry on

When I say, I am a Christian
I'm not bragging of successI
'm admitting I have failed
And cannot ever pay the debt

When I say, I am a Christian
I don't think I know it all
I submit to my confusion
Asking humbly to be taught

When I say, I am a Christian
I'm not claiming to be perfect
My flaws are too visible
But God believes I'm worth it

When I say, I am a Christian
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartaches
Which is why I seek His name

When I say, I am a Christian
I do not wish to judge
I have no authority
I only know I'm loved
Everything we do on earth is temporary. The only permanent thing is a relationship with Christ. That is the bond which extends beyond this earth.
