Created to be ME!
I wrote this poem as I was thinking back over my life’s journey. I was not always confident in my identity. If only I was more outgoing…more bubbly…more talkative…more…well, the list was endless! BUT as I healed some past wounds and learned that I was created for a reason and a purpose, I was able to learn to love myself. I can now embrace who I am with my little quarks and introverted personality! May you grow to love yourself and embrace the person you were created to be. You are not a mistake. You were created for a reason and a purpose! Your personality, gender, talents, and special unique traits were knit together by God for a reason! Creator God thought about you, planned you, and created you for a special reason and purpose! Embrace who you are!
For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
Psalm 139:13-16 (NIV)
