a poem

I had originally written this for a sweet sister, but i realized it is for all of my sisters, so i wanted to share it with you:

WHO YOU ARE

I know who you are; you are a beautiful bride.
You have many riches wrapped up inside.
Each one of those riches is precious and rare;
My Father has entrusted them to your care.
He has knit you together from the inside out,
So He knows what you are all about.
He formed your body and designed your face;
Not one of your features can you erase.
He created your smile, your nose, your hair;
He did it all with an artist's flair!

I know who you are: a daughter of the Most High,
Who loves the Truth and does not lie.
You have a different spirit from the world;
You are not the typical American girl.
Your beauty is exceptional; I should know.
I've listened to your thoughts and watched you grow.
I am pleased with you and your love for Me,
And I only wish you could see yourself as I see.
You are a child of God, which makes you My sister.
I'm calling you by name; can you hear Me whisper?

I know who you are; do you know who I AM?
For your life, I have the most wonderful plan!
It's not over till My Father brings it to an end;
There are still many things for you to do, My friend.
He wants to use your gifts, speak through your voice,
Mend broken hearts and give people a choice;
Bring a smile where there is only pain,
To let men know life in Me is not in vain.
Take His great love, His promises, His Word--
Go and be the best news they have ever heard!

I know who you are: a priestess to make intercession;
You are an eternal being with heavenly possessions.
You are a sweet drink of water to thirsty, dying souls,
A tasty, hearty meal to fill their empty bowls.
You are a bright ray of sunshine in the dark;
When they need a fire, you are the spark.
You are called to give them hope in the last hour,
To be My witness and display My power.
Yes, YOU are the one I have chosen to do this;
Not one opportunity do I want you to miss!

So the next time you wonder why you are here,
Remember who I AM and your purpose will be clear.
