I Made Her Because I Love Her


I made her . . . She is different
She's unique
With love I formed her in her mother's womb.
I fashioned her with great joy.
I remember, with great pleasure,
the day I created her.
(Psalm 139:13-16)

I love her smile.
I love her ways.
I love to hear her laugh.
And the silly things she says and does.
She brings Me great pleasure.
This is how I made her.
(Psalm 139:17 Zephaniah 3:17)

I made her pretty and not beautiful,
Because I knew her heart,
And knew she would be vain . . .
I wanted her to search out her heart,
And to learn that it would be Me in her
That would make her beautiful . . .
And it would be Me in her
That would draw friends to her.
(1 Peter 3:3-5)

I made her in such a way,
That she would need Me.
I made her a little more lonesome
than she would like to be . . .
Only because I need for her
to lean and depend on Me . . .
I know her heart,
I know if I had not made her like this,
She would go her own chosen way
And forget Me . . . her Creator.
(Psalm 62:5-8)

I have given her
many good and happy things
Because I love her.
(Psalm 84:11, Romans 8:23 & 37-39)

Because I love her,
I have seen her broken heart . . .
And the tears she cried alone.
I have cried with her,
And had a broken heart, too.
(Psalm 56:8 Psalm 34:18)

Many times she has stumbled
and fallen alone
Only because she would not hold
My Hand.
So many lessons
she's learned the hard way.
Because she would not listen
to My voice . . .
(Isaiah 53:6)

So many times I have set back
And sadly watched her go
her merry way alone.
Only to watch her return to
My Arms, sad and broken.
(Luke 15:7)

And now she is Mine again . . .
I made her, and then I bought her . . .
Because I love her.
(Romans 5:8)

I have to reshape her and remold her . . .
To renew her
to what I had planned for her to be.
It has not been easy for her
or for Me.
(Jeremiah 29:11)

I want her to be conformed
to My image . . .
This is the high goal I have set for her,
Because I love her.
(2 Corinthians 2:14)

Not sure where this is from.. but I really liked it so I thought I'd share it!
