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
