In His Image

“And in all this, we see God at the centre of everything as He intentionally created human beings to be His image bearers.”

‘Made by Design’ – Sex, Purity and the Longing of a Girl’s Heart (YouVersion Plan)

 ♡ 

Lord, you are too intentional  
 too detailed 
 too unconventional 
 
 I mean, you deposited 
 Yourself in me 
 Who does that? 
 Who sees - truly sees, me
 The way you do 
 
 It’s so profound 
 It’s so new 
 A new means of thought 
 That you give yourself up 
 For us 
 Though you wanted that cup 
 To pass over  
 Because it was scary, that’s the truth 
 
 Death for something you had no part in 
 Something you didn’t do 
 & several things we did not fess up to 
 Because you needed us to look like you 
 To be renewed 
 
 Restored & honoured 
 Dignified 
 Given a rightful place in your arms 
 
 Veil tears 
 Earth shakes 
 Dead are risen 
 
 Actions preceding more actions 
 Love outpouring 
 A maker showing His glory 
 Showing His face 
 Never seeking to replace 
 But to restore, to revive, to erase 
 
 Erase all the burned matter 
 The things we shouldn’t have sought after 
 The things He knows weren’t designed for us to do 
 Yet we gravitate towards 
That shock factor 
 That mildew 
 
 Why can’t I be satisfied? 
 Why can’t I be filled? 
 For only you can satisfy 
 You made me 
 You been knew 
 You’re aware of every little thing I do 
 
 Every move
 Every touch
 Every thought 
 Every thrust 
 
 As I force myself onto sin 
 Because my flesh says it’s okay to let him in 
 But you wait outside 
 Waiting to hug me 
 To be near me as I cry 

 Waiting for me to speak 
 To confess, to be me again 
 Not looking elsewhere 
 For all I found in you 
 But somehow forgot that was the #mood 
 
 Whenever I’m with you 
 I feel safe 
 I feel brave 
 I feel okay 
 I feel sane 
 Sane enough to smile 
 To know that this life 
 Can produce joy 
 
 But only if it’s rooted in you 
 Only if I never lose sight
 of what the mirror says 
 that I’m made in your image 
 - I look like you.
