Music: Schubert Impromptu
This is a wonderful word of reassurance by Suzie Hunt; a love song from the Lord to us.
With so many of us inclined to struggle with negative thoughts of one kind or another, this powerful poem by Suzie Hunt is a poignant and poetic reminder of Paul’s oft quoted statement that, ‘There is no condemnation now for those who live in union with Christ Jesus.’ (Rom. 8:1 GNT)
You ARE beautiful my child
but it has nothing to do with you.
You are beautiful because you are in Me.
I know!
We both see the you that makes you hide in shame,
but it’s no matter to Me.
It’s you who seeks to maim.
I see you beautiful;
in you My plan fulfilled.
I see you changing.
In you my heart is thrilled.
I have chosen you. Do you not see?
I don’t make mistakes.
Your life is here in Me.
I know you are distracted now
while upon the earth.
You sin. You take your eyes off Me,
yet still I see your worth
and I repeat, “You are beautiful.”
And your repentant tears melt my heart
to a tidal wave of love.
You cannot know yet how much I love you,
how much I want you,
but know I gave my life that you might do so.
Not because of the you you know,
but because of the you I know.
And I call you beautiful.
