Alejandra has been such a blessing to share for three weeks on new ways that we need to love ourselves.  Last week she talked about Lonely Love.  As we end out 30 day Love Yourself Challenge I wanted to introduce you to my daughter Rachel. She wrote a poem that she gave me the permission to share with you.  I pray you enjoy it.

I Am Beauty

 In past years I would tend to sink

Into a hole, wondering what does everyone else think.

I would listen to others judge me

Instead of listening to the Judge of me.

I would always feel some Higher love

From above,

But while my heart and soul felt that love my mind didn’t really know what it was, till one day it clicked,

Gods spirit inside of me started to tick,

And I finally saw the madness behind Satan’s magic trick,

That he had been playing on my brain.

I finally jumped on Satan’s crazy train ride

So that I could step inside

Where I needed to be which was with God. When I actually started to know Him, he handed me a whole new series of questions

That freed me from something I never knew I had which was depression.

 So here I am now still with struggles here and there,

But learning to listen to God when he says, “don’t give those things a care.” 

He says to me “You are my biggest diamond, my most prized possession

And if anyone tells you different let me teach them a lesson

Cause you’ve got a daddy who will beat them in a second.

You are my work of art and I love every little part.

I honestly couldn’t wait for your life to start

And put a beat inside your little heart.

Your heart is like a drum like music to my ears

The kind of music that brings me to tears,

The kind of music I want everyone to hear.

So why are you standing here when I gave you a spirit of love not fear.

When I say the word love I have you in my mind,

You are no one else’s but mine,

And no matter how hard you may try to run away from me,

I will try so much harder to get you back because you are my daughter.” So how does God see me?

Well apparently I’m the most valuable thing on this earth,

So valuable you can’t put a price on my worth.

I don’t wear beauty I am beauty and if anyone has a problem with it they can deal with my daddy.
