Encounter: I Call you Beautiful

Music: Schubert Impromptu This is a wonderful word of reassurance by Suzie Hunt; a love song from the Lord to us. With so many of us inclined to struggle with negative thoughts of one kind or another, this powerful poem by Suzie Hunt is a poignant and poetic reminder of Paul’s oft quoted statement that, ‘There is no condemnation now for those who live in union with Christ Jesus.’ (Rom. 8:1 GNT) You ARE beautiful my child but it has nothing to do with you. You are beautiful because you are in Me. I know! We both see the you that makes you hide in shame, but it’s no matter to Me. It’s you who seeks to maim. I see you beautiful; in you My plan fulfilled. I see you changing. In you my heart is thrilled. I have chosen you. Do you not see? I don’t make mistakes. Your life is here in Me. I know you are distracted now while upon the earth. You sin. You take your eyes off Me, yet still I see your worth and I repeat, “You are beautiful.” And your repentant tears melt my heart to a tidal wave of love. You cannot know yet how much I love you, how much I want you, but know I gave my life that you might do so. Not because of the you you know, but because of the you I know. And I call you beautiful.
