my story of finding worth in God's eyes
and She looked around,
and They were all beautiful.
and everything was perfect.
She looked at herself,
expecting to see her own beauty,
but it wasn't there.
She was different,
and she began,
to hate herself.
so She,
with the crooked head
and walking limp,
watched the others.
She cried and wished,
with all she had,
to be like them.
then He,
who made her,
spoke to her.
He knew her.
He saw her,
and He loved her.
but She turned.
away.
She couldn't look at Him,
because her eyes were turned.
away.
She watched Them,
but He waited.
She couldn't look at herself,
because it hurt.
She was broken,
and it hurt her to see.
So He spoke again.
He took her hand.
He put it in his,
and it was made perfect.
She looked in his eyes.
She saw herself.
and She saw that she was beautiful.
and they turned,
to the others.
and they walked together.
and She limped.
and He held her.
and She was beautiful.
