"I am Hers, She is Mine"- a poem every girl needs to hear.

I've read most of the verses about Christ and the way He loves us, but I needed a constant reminder in one reading of the way God feels about me as His child. I look at it often, through good times and bad as a reminder of my heavenly father's love. I pray you hear His voice through my words.

Infinite X's and O's,
Claire

"I am Hers, She is Mine."

I shaped her before she was born.
I made her unique.
I chose her hair and then matched it to her eyes.
I designed her likes and dislikes,
So that she may be her own person,
Different from the rest.
I picked her gifts and talents wisely,
And gladly gave them to her for her to show the world.

I have seen her try hard to be perfect.
But I made her pretty, not beautiful.
Smart, not genius.
So that she would lean on me,
When she is missing the final piece to be happy with herself.

I love her laugh.
I hate her tears.
I adore her voice.
When she laughs and is silly,
So am I.
When she cries and is upset,
So am I.
When she comes to Me and talks,
I listen.

I've watched her grow.
I've seen her make decisions,
Both good and bad.
Many times she has run from Me,
Then returned, 
Sorry and Broken.
I have picked up the pieces of her crushed heart,
And sewn them back together.
Shaping her,
day after day,
Into the woman I want her to be.


It has not been easy for her or Me,
But I have made her strong and brave,
And I am no where near giving up on her.
I love her.
I am hers, She is Mine.
