Because I love her.
My daughter came home from school with this...I had to share it with you all. Take time to read it and take it all in. I hope it speaks to you like it does to me.
Enjoy!
I made her…she is different.
She’s unique.
With love I formed her, in her
Mother’s womb.
I fashioned her with great joy.
I remember, with great pleasure, the
Day I created her.
(Psalm 139:13-16)
I love her smile.
I love her ways.
I love to hear her laugh.
And the silly things she says and does.
She brings me great pleasure.
This is how I made her.
(Psalm 139:17)
I made her pretty and not beautiful,
Because I knew her heart,
And knew she would be vain…
I wanted her to search out her heart,
And to learn that it would be Me in her
That would make her beautiful…
And it would be Me in her
That would draw friends to her.
(1 Peter 3:3-5)
I made her in such a way,
That she would need me.
I made her a little more lonesome
Than she would like to be…
Only because I need for her to learn
From and depend on me…
I know her heart, I know if I had not
Made her like this
She would go her own chosen way
And forget Me…her Creator.
(Psalm 62:5-8)
I have given her many good and happy things…
Because I love her.
(Psalm 84:11, Romans 8:23)
Because I love her, I have seen her
Broken heart…
And the tears she cried alone.
I have cried with her,
And had a broken heart, too.
(Psalm 56:8)
Many times she has stumbled and fallen alone
Only because she would not hold My hand.
So many lessons she’s learned the hard way
Because she would not listen
To My Voice…
(Isaiah 53:6)
So many times I have set back
and sadly watched her go her
merry way alone.
Only to watch her return to My Arms,
sad and broken.
(Isaiah 62:2)
And now she is mine again…
I made her, and then I bought her…
Because I love her.
(Romans5:8)
I have to reshape and remold her…
To renew her to what I had planned
For her to be.
It has not been easy for her or for me
(Jeremiah 29:11)
I want her to be conformed to My Image…
this high goal I have set for her,
Because I love her.
(2 Corinthians 2:14)

What has been on my mind
This morning Shauna shared a little bit of her journey with us, and seriously, hearing stories like that are what keeps me going and keeps a fire under me to serve on this ministry. So thank you again for reminding me Shauna, that this ministry does make a difference in not only women's lives, but the lives of their families and other people that they are in contact with. That is truly amazing, and definitely worth celebrating! The fact that someone I know has found Jesus, I have no words.
So I challenge you all to look for those things to praise God for. What has He been doing in your life or in the lives of those around you that is worth celebrating. Who do you know that has been saved and now shares that eternal hope. If you feel like you can, leave a comment and let us know and we will celebrate with you. Nothing can make a girl feel better than a party, (well maybe some chocolate cake) so lets celebrate and praise God for all that he is doing that is amazing!
