I Am VALUABLE!!!

 I AM VALUABLE!!!

~Kriss Elise Brewer June 2021

There she was,

Crumpled on the ground,

Crushed by the weight of opinion of the world,

A burden too heavy to bear,

They said she was too skinny,

But then they called her fat,

She didn’t graduate so couldn’t be smart,

They said she needed to live it up,

Go out for the night and let loose,

The weight of everybody’s opinions,

Their harsh words crowded in from all sides,

They blocked out the sun,

She built walls around her crushed soul,

She knew she had no value and no worth,

Didn’t even try to fight back,

They said she was too depressed,

Too down on life and not fun,

She didn’t have the face of beauty,

They said she was crazy,

She was a lost cause,

Too messed up for anybody to care,

But then she heard a voice,

Whisper in her ear,

You my daughter are valuable,

I hand chose you and formed you in the womb,

I called you by name and called you mine,

You are beautiful, made in God’s own image,

Slowly the weight of the world loosened a bit,

As she focused on that quiet voice,

It was loud enough to start drowning out the world,

She heard that she was created for a purpose,

Her life bought and redeemed by the blood of Christ,

She heard that she belonged, she was wanted and chosen,

That still small voice whispered hope,

A future, that there was a plan for her life,

Not to harm her but to prosper and bring her peace,

As she focused solely on His voice,

She started to trust what she knew to be truth,

She began to live in the grace that was offered,

Rising up off the ground,

Dropping the opinions of the world at the foot of the cross,

She found a new confidence, a new value,

What others said about her didn’t really matter anymore,

She was loved and valued by the One who called her by name,

She found beauty and peace,

Confidence and worth in Christ,

She knew who she really was,

Walking with a new hope for the future,

Finding a future full of blessings and peace,

Keeping her face towards the sun,

Leaving the shadows behind she started a whole new life,

She turned to all the voices,

Shouting louder than them all,

I am valuable!
