Because He Makes Me New


I am not a woman with a six inch thigh gap

I am not seen as perfectly curvy and simultaneously perfectly lean

My boobs don't outweigh my body

My hair is not silky smooth

And my butt doesn't look like it could be popped by the prick of a needle

But, 

I am a woman with a six pound heart

I am drenched by compassion and simultaneously moved to action

My love for the broken outweights my desire to be self-promoting

My soul shatters at the sound of clanging change in a beggar's so desperate cup

And my past looks like shattered glass that should be thrown in the trash

But, 

I am restored by the one able of making me a mosaic

I am graciously given a life worth living

My soul is covered by the blood of my Savior

My heart is won by the glorious mercy of God my Father

And because He makes me new

I am flawless
