I love this – it inspires me and is a good reminder to me everyday to see things a certain way. Hubby and I have this printed out and laminated and in a place that we can read it every morning. All this, of course, is only possible if we know who we are and whose we are – sons and daughters of the King and beautiful in His sight. It was written by Christian Larson. ENJOY!!!
For quite a while I have been wanting to write a children’s story in rhyme targeting children from the ages of 3 years to about 6 years of age. Somehow I have never managed to get it right, but today that all changed. I have discovered that since I have had a revelation of God’s Kingdom being in and through me that many of my meagre talents have actually improved. I am having amazing prophetic dreams (but that is another story!!), my pathetic keyboard playing has actually improved and the writing creativity is flowing. Today I sat down and began to write a story – God must have anointed me because it just came and I wrote the whole story in about an hour – I kid you not!!! I was thrilled with the result and my kids loved the story too. Now I am going to keep you in suspense I am afraid, as I am planning to illustrate my story and even get it printed if possible. I would so love to have something one day for my grandkids to read. So hopefully my art skills have improved too – I haven’t done any paintings recently so we will see. Looking forward to the challenge. This is so exciting to me just how God’s creative DNA has been breathed into each one of us – we are able to create the most amazing things because we are made in His image – how exciting is that!!
I gaze in the mirror with fleshly eyes
The enemy’s voice resounds in a cry
“You’re not much to look at – a beauty you’re not
You’ll never achieve much – with what you’ve got
You’re too insecure and fear what others think
How can you make a difference
In this world that you live ?
“Look again”, comes the voice of my Father above
“Look again at yourself, but look through My eyes
Look again and you will see – the enemy lies”
So I look at myself and say “God what do You see?
What am I like Lord? – what will I be?”
“You are an ambassador of the Most High God
Part of the Royal Priesthood – a beautiful bride
You’re radiant and fragrant to those around
You’re a jewel in a million – of you I am proud”
“I’ve moulded and made you to be someone great
Your life has a purpose, a great destiny awaits
So when you see your reflection – don’t hesitate
But thank me for what you see – I never make a mistake”.
This poem I believe was inspired – I had hardly written any poetry before this and it came to me in a matter of 15 minutes. This was to be a blessing to me in the months to come as everything I had written about was to be tested in my relationships over the following year.
