He loves me.

You handed me a beautiful creation

A flower gleaming with Your love

I embraced it and gasped at its beauty

But then the world distracted me

Slowly I started to pick off petals

one for stress

one for pain

one for confusion

do they love me? Pluck.

do they not love me? Pluck.

When I finally looked back to Your love

to the flower You gave me

I expected nothing to be left

I plucked to many petals

I sinned to much

I questioned the truest of loves

But when I looked down

I saw the same beautiful flower

Your love is unfailing.

You never stop loving me

even when I stray away

Your love never changes.

they love me? they love me not?

He Loves me.

My Lord Loves me with an eternal love.

God Bless,

Rachael

Raw, Broken Beauty

Do you love what you see?

Do you love me for me?

All my imperfections

All my mistakes

All my insecurities

and all my strange ways

Do you smile when I laugh?

Does your heart break when I cry?

Do you see whats on the inside?

I am no supermodel.

I am not a prize to be won.

I am not perfect.

My heart has scars

scars from those who lied

lied when they said they loved all of me 

So I ask

Do you love me for me?

Do you really love what you see?

My raw, broken beauty.

God Bless,

Rachael

My true love

Standing there with your arms open wide

Ready to fill my heart with love

Accepting me for who I am

Holding me in my brokenness

You offer me unfailing love

Yet I still reject You

You offer my heart a home in Your arms

Yet I still search

I cry and complain about finding "true love"

You stand there jealous for me

Yet You still listen

When I stray away You gently place me back on the right path

Your love lasts forever

You never fail me

Then why do I fail at loving you as much as you love me?

I am blinded by my journey for "true love"

When the whole time my True love has always been there

You have always been there

You Will always be there

Arms open wide for me to run to

God Bless,

Rachael
