Beautiful by Mercy Me

The days will come when you don't have the strength
When all you hear is you're not worth anything
Wondering if you ever could be loved
And if they truly saw your heart they'd see too much

You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You are made so much more than all of this
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You are treasured, You are sacred, You are His
You're beautiful

I'm praying that you have the heart to find
Cause you are more than what is hurting you tonight
For all the lies you've held inside so long
And they are nothing in the shadow of the cross

You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You are made so much more than all of this
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You are treasured, You are sacred, You are His
You're beautiful

Before you ever took a breath
Long before the world began
Of all the wonders He possessed
There was one more precious
Of all the earth and skies above
You're the one He madly loves
Enough to die

You're beautiful
You're beautiful
In His eyes

You're beautiful
You were meant for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful
You are treasured, You are sacred, You are His
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're meant for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You are treasured, You are sacred, You are His

So, I have been hearing this song a lot lately and the truth in the words speak for themselves. God wants you. He desires you, He wants you because He loves you and because you are His child. I hope that you will never forget that. Sometimes it is so easy to get caught up in this life and this world's lies about who you are. You are God's child.

At a graduation I attended recently one of the speakers said it plainly,

"Never forget who you are, and never forget whose you are."

Never lose sight of who you know yourself to be, who God has made you to be. Never forget that you are God's.

Isaiah 43:1 "I have called you by your name, you are mine."
