Poem by Russell Kelfer:
You are who you are for a reason
You're part of an intricate plan
You're
a precious and perfect unique design,
called God's special woman or man
You look like you look for a reason
Our God made no mistake
He knit y ou together within the womb
You're just what he wanted to make
The parents you had were the ones he chose,
And no matter how you may feel,
They were custom 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'd 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 a God!
