Lush Meadows Just For Me

(Psalm 23) " ....You have bedded me down in lush meadows...." (Msg)


There are just some days that I wonder why. I wonder why I am here. Why do I even bother? The old voices creep into my head, "I wish you were never born." "You are so unworthy." It's a struggle and I have to remind myself who I am.

I learned not long ago, however, that I was chosen.By the grace of God, the painful journey of brokenness, a dear friend and mentor, I slowly learned that God chose me to be His beloved daughter. I am worthy.

For you are my offspring. (Acts 17:28 )
I knew you even before you were conceived. (Jeremiah 1:4-5 )
You are fearfully and wonderfully made. (Psalm 139:14 )
I knit you together in your mother's womb. (Psalm 139:13)
And it is my desire to lavish my love on you. (1 John 3:1 )
Simply because you are my child and I am your Father. (1 John 3:1)

So I am not a mistake. I was meant to be born.

"So much My love, I created this beautiful meadow so that you may pick each flower unique in color, presenting a special fragrance that represents that of My love. Choose whatever you wish. They are yours. I painted them for you. My beloved daughter."

Thank you Papa,
