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)
