Beautiful, Valuable, Worthy, & Whole

In God's image you were strategically crafted

Bone structure, curves, the color of your eyes He mastered

He took His time to make sure you were perfect

Nothing broken, nothing scarred

nothing missing, nothing flawed

A masterpiece exemplifying pure beauty

I imagine Him marveling at His creation

thinking "Hmmm, she looks good to me"

If fearfully and wonderfully made

Your worth high above rubies

Why do you devalue yourself

simply for the likes of a cutie?

I take that back

He's probably not even that cute

but because you think you can't do any better

you're too afraid to give him the boot.

The boot that kicks him out of your life

Refusing to continue to sell yourself short

As if you have to be desperate

And settle for less as a last resort.

No ma'am my sister

Your pearls are to be treasured

And your heart treated like gold

You are God's prized possession

Forget the lies you've been told

Lies that say you're unloveable

And the only way to receive is to put out

Lies that tell you sex and sexuality

Are all you're really about

Your body is a temple

Designed to be holy and pure

It is to be offered as a sacrifice

Of this, be very sure

Jesus paid a high price for you

Because He loved you more than Himself

The man in your life should follow Jesus' example

And place you high upon a shelf

The shelf of his heart, that is

Loving and respecting you for who you are inside

Not focusing merely on your body

Or the jewel between your thighs

But until you respect yourself

And recognize your own worth

You'll always lower your standards

And accept being treated like dirt

I'm not telling you anything

That I haven't gone through myself

But by the grace of God

I discovered that within me was wealth

Not the kind of wealth

Measured by riches and gold

But the kind that resides

Deep down in the very soul

A weatlh of beauty

A wealth of love

A weath of value

All given from above

If nothing else you take from this

If nothing else speaks to your soul

See yourself as God does

Beautiful, Valuable, Worthy, and Whole.
