You Are Not A Mistake

Greetings to all,
 
You are who you are for a reason.  You’re 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, You’re 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, that trauma you faced was not easy. And God wept that it hurt you so; But 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!

Waiting Changes You

Not necessarily because time itself has power, but because God works through it. He does not hurry to match our impatience, nor does He bend to fit our deadlines. He is not cruel in his delays, He is purposeful.

​What I once thought was silence was in fact His wisdom stretching me, exposing me, reshaping me. The longer I prayed, the clearer it became that God wasn't simply after the fulfillment of what I was asking for. He was after me. This was about refinement.

Because in the end, His goal was never to just hand me what I wanted. His goal was to make me into someone who wanted Him more than anything else. And honestly, that changes everything. 

"Wait on the LORD: Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD." 
- Psalm 27:14 KJV
