Beautiful Princess

Father, you have loved me
You have adopted me
I am now yours

You made me
You created me
You desired me

I was taken from you
Taken by my fickle devotion
I heard lies whispered
I believed them
They told me I wasn't yours
They told me that you didn't want me
I ran in shame
I felt hurt, I felt guilty, I was naked

Bruised and beaten by the enemy
I thought ill of love
I didn't know who to trust
but you called my name
Not the names they called me
It doesn't matter what they called me
It matters what I answered to
Too long I answered to "useless"
I answered to "broken"
I answered to "guilty"
I answered to lies
but you called my name
The name that you gave me
Yours
αγαπηθεί

My name is "Loved"
You are love
I am yours
You paid the price for me
They valued me at death
I heard their cry
I was ready to die
I was ready to give up
But you paid the price
You fought for me
You paid it all and fought to be sure that I was yours
You desired me
You were jealous
You pursued me
You wanted me
You were willing to give it all for me
You gave it all just so I could possibly choose to come back to you
You waited for me
You searched for me
You called out to me
I forgot your voice
I forgot my name

Eventually I heard you
I heard you crying out for your daughter
I heard you and I called out "Father?"
I begged for you to accept me
I begged for you to use me to glorify your name
You ran to me with open arms
You embraced me
You hugged me
Tears of joys ran down both of our faces
We celebrate together for all of eternity

Now I am yours
Your beloved
Your treasure
Your prized possession
Your daughter
Your beautiful princess
Crowned with your love and grace

Bear Your Cross as You Wait for Your Crown

God, I've Messed Up

Lord, I know I could never be perfect. I know I could not earn my salvation. I am saved by your grace and mercy alone. Forgive me, O Lord. You are kind and gracious to forgive You seek justice You have paid for my sins I am forgiven God, I am amazed everyday by your love and grace. How can you still love me? You are everything to me. You love me despite my mistakes. You have forgiven me. You died for me. You love me, so that I might love you. Lord, my heart is yours.
