sit and know

but I,
I see
so much more

your face
echoes Mine
a thousand times
more precious

beauty
beauty, I watch you
come as you are
let Me hold your heart

don’t listen
don’t react
to all the world
only sit
sit a while
sit and know
with Me

each freckle,
My signature
each fleck of gold,
like the sun
burning bright
full of life

I want all
of you
dry your tears
in My arms
sweet child
I’ll catch you.

Author notes

Your struggle, Fallen Forever, echoes both my struggle and the struggle of so many girls who are lost in a world full of unmeasurable standards of beauty. My heart lnogs for you to know exactly what your Father thinks of you. He wants you to know how precious you are. SO PRECIOUS. He loves you so much, seriously. I celebrate this step towards recovery and I sincerely pray that you'll grow to find that to Him, you are beautiful no matter what.

So yeah.. that's what I wrote this poem about. He just wants you to sit and know who you are, to Him. <3

    This was so beautiful
    I'm so stunned
    There were so mnay lines that just took my breath away

    each freckle,
    My signature
    each fleck of gold,

    I loved that bit
    And the last stanza was perfect
    It seemed personal to me, but so many other girls can read it and feel touched by message and God's healing love that shone through in the poem
    I also loved the message of safety in God's arms and the healing

    Wonderful, this is amazing
    Well done, and thank you so much
