In case no one ever told you or you have forgotten
You are a blessing and have been since you were begotten
Fashioned from love
Sent to the earth from above
You’re nothing short of a godsend
You are the masterpiece born of God’s imagination
Even the parts that are crying out for restoration
All that you are
Born out of stardust and scars
Reflects God’s perfect creation
You are uniquely created for love and belonging
Forcing yourself to be someone you’re not is exhausting
You are a gift
There is no box you must fit
Let your belovedness blossom
