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."

Just begun to see, so great a wonder that is found
In the name of the Renowned One
So barely scratched the surface
To understand what true love is
Love that sacrificed so much
Love that reached out, touching lepers
Frail, broken souls,
Unworthy to be made whole
Soft and tender was His gaze
Sweet and everlasting is his face
Those eyes so aware of what was to come
Still reached out those hands to love
Failing, broken people
Loving while most stood still
Not most, but all, depraved we are under the fall
What Adam brought in, Christ has paid for
Ever we are redeemed and called poor
In this world, but rich in God’s mercy

What a beautiful necessity.
