Why God Created Me

In high school I had a life group mentor who gave us this poem. It has touched my life in so many ways as a woman. I do not know if you remember giving this to a small group of girls back in the span of 2003-2005 but thank you!

“Why God Created Me”

I made her…she is different. She’s unique. With love I formed her in her mother’s womb. I fashioned her with great joy. I remember with great pleasure, the day I created her.

Psalm 139:13-16

I love her smile. I love her ways. I love to hear her laugh. And the silly things she says and does. She brings me great pleasure. This is how I made her.

Psalm 139:17

I made her pretty and not beautiful,

 because I know her heart, and knew she would be vain…I wanted her to search out her heart and to learn that it would be me in her that would draw friends to her.

1 Peter 3:3-5

I made her in such a way that she would need Me.

I made her a little more lonesome that she would like to be…

Only because I wanted her to turn to me in loneliness…

Only because I need for her to depend on me…

I know her heart, I know if I had not made her like this she would go her own way

And forget Me…her Creator.

Psalm 82:5-8

I have given her many good and happy things…

Because I love her.

Psalm 84:11, Romans 8:32

Because I love her, I have seen her broken heart…

And the tears she’s cried alone.

I have cried  with her and have had a broken heart, too.

Psalm 56:9

Many times she has stumbled and fallen alone

Only because she would not hold my hand.

So many lessons she’s learned the hard way

Because she would not listen to My voice.

Isaiah 53:6

So many times I have set back

And sadly watched her go her merry

Ways alone,

Only to watch her return to my arms sad and broken.

Isaiah 66:2

And now she’s Mine again…

I made her and then bought her…

Because I love her.

Romans 5:8

I have to reshape her and remold her

To renew her to what I had planned her to be.

It has not been easy for her or for Me.

Jeremiah 29:11

I want her to be conformed to My image…

This high goal I have set for her,

Because I love her.

2 Corinthians 2:14
