wonderfully made

A poem one of the teachers at a school in Soroti wrote and shared with me:

I am Wonderfully and Fearfully Made

You are who you are for a reason
you're part of an intricate plan
you're precious and perfect unique design
called God's special creature

You look like you look for a reason
Our God made no mistake
He knit you together within the womb
You're just what He wanted to make

The parents who bore you were the ones He chose
and no matter how you may feel
they were designed with God's plan in mind
and they bear the Master's seal

No, that trauma you faced was not easy
and God wept that it hurt you so
but it was allowed to shape your heart
so that into His likeness you would grow

You are who you are for a reason
you've been formed by the Master's rod
you are who you are beloved
Because there is God

by Annet

Lovely. Beautiful. =) May this Truth, and more, continue to spread amongst our Ugandan brothers and sisters, in Jesus name!
