God thinks your're wonderful!
God is fond of you
if he had a wallet
your photo would be in it
if he had a refrigerator
your picture would be on it
He sands you flowers every spring
and sunrise every morning
Whenever you want to talk,
he'll listen
He can live anywhere
in the universe
and he chose
your heart
Face it, friend
He's crazy about you
Btw, it may be difficult for you to believe that
God knows your name...
but he does written on his hand
spoken by his mouth
whispered by his lips
your name
"I have written your name on my hand" (Isaiah 49:16)
our hearts are not large enough to contain the blessings
that God wants to give
so try this
the next time a sunrise steals your breath....
or a meadow of flowers
leaves you speechless...
remain that way
say nothing and listen as heaven whispers
"Do you like it?
I did it just for you"
if we gave gifts to show our love
how much more would he?
He could have left the world, flat and gray...
but he didn't
He splashed orange in the sunrise...
and cast the sky in blue
And if you love to see geese as they gather
chances are you'll see that too
Did he have to make the squirrel's tail furry?
Was he obliged to make the birds sing?
and the funny way that chickens scurry...
or the majesty of thunder when it rings?
why give a flower fragrance?
Why give food its taste?
Could it be he loves to see that look upon your face?
So promise me
you'll never forget that you aren't an accident...
or an accident... you are a gift to the world
a divine work of art signed by God
"You knit me together in my mother's womb" (Psalm 139:13)
you were knit together
you weren't mass-produced
you aren't an assembly-line product
you were deliberately planned
specifically gifted
and lovingly positioned
on this earth....
by the Master Crafts-Man
He thinks you are the best thing
to come down the pike in quite a while
Tern to the sidelines;
that God cheering your run
Look past the finish line;
that God applauding your steps
God is for you
Had he a calendar
your birthday would be circled
if he drove a car
your name would be on his bumper
if there's a tree in heaven
he's carved your name in the bark
Maybe you don't want to trouble God with your hurts
But... he cares about you" (1 Peter 5:7)
He is waiting for you
to embrace you
whether you succeed or fail
Your heavenly Father is very fond of you
as only wants to share his love with you
Blessed be the LORD you God who has delighted in you (1 Kings 10:9
Untethered by time God sees us all
Vagabonds and ragamuffins all
he saw us before we were born
and he loves what he sees
Flooded by emotion
overcome by pride
the Starmaker turns to us
one by one, and says
"You are my child
I love you dearly
I'm aware that someday
you'll turn from me and walk away
But I want you to know
I've already provided a way back"
You have captured the heart of God
He cannot bear to live without you
God's dream is to make you right with him
And the path to the cross
tell us exactly how far
God will go to call us back
it is not our love for God
it is God's love for us
in sending his Son
to be the way
to take away our sins (1 John 4:10)
"Can anything make me stop loving you?" God asks
"You wonder how long my love will last?
Watch me speak your language
sleep on your earth
and feel your hurts
Find your answer
on a splintered cross
on a craggy hill
That's how much I love you"
God does more than forgive our mistakes;
he removes them!
we simply have
to take them to him.
You can talk to God
because God listens
Let a tear appear on your cheek
and he is there to wipe it
He has sent his angels to care for you
his Holy spirit to dwell in you....
his church to encourage you
and his word to guide you
as much as you want to see him
he wants to see you more
If you want to touch God's heart
us the name he loves to hear
call him "Father"
He thinks you're wonderful!
your photo would be in it
