YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE FOR A REASON

YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE FOR A REASON

YOU ARE 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

YOUR 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, THE TRAUMA YOU FACED WAS NOT EASY

AND GOD WEPT THAT IT HURT YOU SO;

THAT 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!

 

by Russel Kelfer

 

It isn't easy to move beyond what we have always been told what and who we are.  We have been told all our lives what others say and think we are.  Seldom are we told that we are God's creations, just as we are.  However, God wants all of us to grow in His spirit and love.  After all, we are not happy accidents of random DNA and gnomes.  If that were the result of our being, we would be swimming in the seas or just a collection ameba's or simple celled entities.  No, we are much more than that; we have souls.  Even those that have limited minds or functions, have souls, the need to have love and give love.  Only God can create a soul.  If in doubt you must be around, work with, or live with someone that has limited capacities of one type or another, for they have unlimited abilities to receive and give love.  God made them just as they are, too, to teach us to be better, more caring people as we travel this road.  All of are special..."somebodies"...because we belong to God, for God and He loves us unconditionally.

HARMONY



 

Colossians 3:14 (LB)

 

As this is just the beginning of Lent, make LOVE a part of your penance.  Sounds odd?  It isn't.  Forgive someone their transgressions or malice toward you and LOVE will flow.
