Fearless Daughter
I am fearless because of the gift of Christ, who conquered sin and defeated death upon the cross. Deuteronomy 31:6 "Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you." I am a daughter because of Psalm 68:5 "Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation."

Titles are the hardest, to put into the line the summation of my heart. To tell you exactly what I am feeling, experiences, and bringing to this paragraph. It is not enough my fingers decide, as I tab down to begin writing. I am eager and anxiously awaiting the opportunity to let my fingers go wild, to animate upon the screen the things that are upon my soul. I love writing, probably should be studying PolySci, but instead I am listening to soft Christian music, exhaling in peace because I have the opportunity to stop today and write. What a beautiful gift. I was called beautiful today and it surprised me. I wonder if he truly sees what I do. What difference does it make anyways? I am a new creation, that I can understand and feel and believe, but as my eyes look upon the image before me, in the mirror, I cannot wrap my head around myself being included in the Imago Dei. I simply cannot comprehend the identity of my soul, my face, being made in the image of God, obviously tainted by sin, but STILL. I cannot measure up to that identity. I simply can't ever. isn't that the point though? That CHRIST alone still sees me and thinks I am worthy of still loving, even enough to die for me?! When results fail, Christ is enough. When tests go poorly, Christ is enough. Maybe that's my problem. I try to create this beautiful poem, fighting the reality that it would fit much better in prose. OR that I am a sinner in need of grace and cannot understand nor rationalize the cross. OR that Christ's love terrifies me when I face it in the presence of my inadequacy because I will never be able to react sufficiently to it.
