My Substance

I spent most of my life carrying baggage that did not belong to me.

Holding on to the weight of others negativity and insecurity. 

I allowed others,

Who felt poorly about themselves 

To label me.

And then, one day- I woke up

And realized 

I was not who they said I was

I was who God says I am

When I was made in secret

and skillfully wroth in the lowest parts of the earth,

His eyes saw my substance, my value being yet unformed

He looked on me

Took notice of me

And approved 

In his book are my days written and fashioned

For it is He who formed my inward parts

Covering, protecting, approving of me

Nestled in the womb of my mother

I am 

Yes I am fearfully and wonderfully made

Created by the master

and valued as one of His beloved masterpieces

I am

I am complete because of the one who completed me.

Because of the one who created and saw my substance

The who, what, when and why

And said, she's good

 very good.
