Beautiful

                                   I want you to watch this video before I begin.
Doesn't this song almost make you want to cry? Why have we come so far that we can only see what the world sees in us? How have we gottten so lost in the noise and darkness that we have forgotten who created us. If you don't know this let me share with you the fact that you are indeed a created masterpiece! God made you beautiful and wonderful inside and out. GOD DOES NOT MAKE JUNK!! You are more to Him than anything in the whole world and He loves you more than anyone else ever could! God sent His son to die for us so we could forever have Him with us as our "Abba" or our Daddy. I know it's hard for some to understand a father's love due to so many fathers today making bad choices but I hope you know that God's love is: unchanging, unconditional, everlasting, and just for you! You are SO BEAUTIFUL to the one who smiled the whole time He was creating you! He made you just the way you are so that you could live for Him and have everlasting joy and peace, even in the hard times this life can bring! Pslams 139 is one of my favorite chapters in the whole Bible because it reminds me that God loves His creations and He knows everything about me, even more than I really know about myself. It's so comforting to know that I can place my life into the hands of someone who is perfect and will never let me down! He knows the perfect plan for my life and I am trusting Him with it. 


Psalm 139

A David Psalm
 1-6 God, investigate my life; get all the facts firsthand.
   I'm an open book to you;
      even from a distance, you know what I'm thinking.
   You know when I leave and when I get back;
      I'm never out of your sight.
   You know everything I'm going to say
      before I start the first sentence.
   I look behind me and you're there,
      then up ahead and you're there, too—
      your reassuring presence, coming and going.
   This is too much, too wonderful—
      I can't take it all in!

 7-12 Is there anyplace I can go to avoid your Spirit?
      to be out of your sight?
   If I climb to the sky, you're there!
      If I go underground, you're there!
   If I flew on morning's wings
      to the far western horizon,
   You'd find me in a minute—
      you're already there waiting!
   Then I said to myself, "Oh, he even sees me in the dark!
      At night I'm immersed in the light!"
   It's a fact: darkness isn't dark to you;
      night and day, darkness and light, they're all the same to you.

 13-16 Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;
      you formed me in my mother's womb.
   I thank you, High God—you're breathtaking!
      Body and soul, I am marvelously made!
      I worship in adoration—what a creation!
   You know me inside and out,
      you know every bone in my body;
   You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,
      how I was sculpted from nothing into something.
   Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth;
      all the stages of my life were spread out before you,
   The days of my life all prepared
      before I'd even lived one day.

 17-22 Your thoughts—how rare, how beautiful!
      God, I'll never comprehend them!
   I couldn't even begin to count them—
      any more than I could count the sand of the sea.
   Oh, let me rise in the morning and live always with you!
      And please, God, do away with wickedness for good!
   And you murderers—out of here!—
      all the men and women who belittle you, God,
      infatuated with cheap god-imitations.
   See how I hate those who hate you, God,
      see how I loathe all this godless arrogance;
   I hate it with pure, unadulterated hatred.
      Your enemies are my enemies!

 23-24 Investigate my life, O God,
      find out everything about me;
   Cross-examine and test me,
      get a clear picture of what I'm about;
   See for yourself whether I've done anything wrong—
      then guide me on the road to eternal life.
