Beautiful, Valuable, Worthy & Whole


In God's image you were strategically crafted
Bone structure, curves, the color of your eyes He mastered
He took His time to make sure you were perfect
Nothing broken, nothing scarred
nothing missing, nothing flawed

A masterpiece exemplifying pure beauty
I imagine Him marveling at His creation
thinking "Hmmm, she looks good to me"
If fearfully and wonderfully made
Your worth high above rubies
Why do you devalue yourself
simply for the likes of a cutie?
I take that back
He's probably not even that cute
but because you think you can't do any better
you're too afraid to give him the boot.

The boot that kicks him out of your life
Refusing to continue to sell yourself short
As if you have to be desperate
And settle for less as a last resort.
No ma'am my sister
Your pearls are to be treasured
And your heart treated like gold
You are God's prized possession
Forget the lies you've been told

Lies that say you're unloveable
And the only way to receive is to put out
Lies that tell you sex and sexuality
Are all you're really about

Your body is a temple
Designed to be holy and pure
It is to be offered as a sacrifice
Of this, be very sure

Jesus paid a high price for you
Because He loved you more than Himself
The man in your life should follow Jesus' example
And place you high upon a shelf

The shelf of his heart, that is
Loving and respecting you for who you are inside
Not focusing merely on your body
Or the jewel between your thighs

But until you respect yourself
And recognize your own worth
You'll always lower your standards
And accept being treated like dirt

I'm not telling you anything
That I haven't gone through myself
But by the grace of God
I discovered that within me was wealth

Not the kind of wealth
Measured by riches and gold
But the kind that resides
Deep down in the very soul

A weatlh of beauty
A wealth of love
A weath of value
All given from above

If nothing else you take from this
If nothing else speaks to your soul
See yourself as God does
Beautiful, Valuable, Worthy, and Whole.

"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made..." ~Psalm 139:14~

Be Beautiful!
