I made her...She is different, she is unique. With love i formed her in her mothers womb. I fashioned her with great joy. I remember with great pleasure the day I created her. (Psalm 139)
I love her smile. I love her ways. I love to hear her laugh. I love the silly things she says and does. She brings me great pleasure. This is how I made her. (Psalm 139)
I made her pretty not beautiful because I know her heart and how she would be vain. I wantd her to search out her heart and learn that it's ME in her that makes her beautiful, and it would be Me in her that draws friends to her. (1 Peter)
I made her in such a way that she would need me. A little more lonesome than she would like to be only because I need her to lean and depend on Me. I know her heart and I know if I had not made her like this she would go her own chosen way and forget Me- Her own creator. (Psalm 63)
I have grown her many good and happy things. (Psalm 84; Romans 8)
Because I love her, I hae seen her broken heart... and the tears she has cried alone. I have cried with her and had a broken heart too. (Psalm 56)
Many times she has stumbled and fallen alone, only because she would not hold my hand. Many lessons she has learned the hard way because she wouldn't listen to my voice. (Isaiah 62)
So many times I have set back and sadly watched her go her way alone, only to watch her return to my arms, sad and broken. Now she is Mine again. I made her and then I bought her because I love her. I have to reshape and remold her... to renew her for what I have planned. It has not been easy for her or for Me. (Jeremiah 29)
I want her to conform too my image... this high goal I have set for her because I love Her.

You were created in the image of God. He has an extraordinary plan for You. He created the entire world in 7 days. He calls the stars by name. He knows the number of grains of sand there are on every beach. He purposely put 128 muscles in the head of the caterpillar. He made each tree a little bit different. He healed the lame, and gave sight to the blind. He put an idea for a cure in the mind of a child. He has this world in his hands. He defends the poor. He laughs. He lights up the darkness. He is way too big for a box. He works mysteriously. He seeks You out. He calls Your name. He desires You.
He Made You, Because He Loves You.

"When You Open Your Mouth"
"A word out of your mouth may seem of no account, but it can accomplish nearly anything -or destroy it.
It only takes a spark, remember, to set off a forest fire. A careless or wrongly placed word out of your mouth can do that. By our speech we can ruin the world, turn harmony to chaos, throw mud on a reputation, send the whole world up in smoke and go up in smoke with it, smoke right from the pit of hell.
This is scary: You can tame a tiger, but you can't tame a tongue-it's never been done. The tongue runs wild, a wanton killer. With our tongues we bless God our Father; with the same tongues we curse the very men and women he made in his image. Curses and blessings out of the same mouth!"
James 3:5-10 (MSG)
I read this tonight. Talk about intense. This passage challenges me so much, because it reminds me of how much power i have in my words. In the words i speak over myself, over my friends, over my family, over my teachers, over my nation, over the church...
"...send the whole world up in smoke and go up in smoke with it, smoke right from the pit of hell..."
I want to be counted as wise. I want to live in such a way that brings people to Jesus. I want to speak, and speak life.
It seems almost as if more often and not, we dont even hear ourselves... We speak without thinking. We say things when we are angry that we dont mean. We forget that once it's spoken, we can't take it back.
What would it be like if we spoke life over eachother? If we spead hope and laughter and walked in love, in place of chaos, and smoke? What if we opened our mouths and blessed people, but not only that.. what if we walked in the same love and hope and laughter that we speak of?
Jesus said, "You will be known by the way you love eachother."
You were created in the image of God, and through Him all things are made new.
