You are glorious - Monica - (and everyone else who feels like her)

This words written immediately below are from the Bible (a version called The Message). They are for Monica and anyone else who feels like she does. Monica, one the first phrases you said to me was, “I am useless”. This statement is not true. I don’t say this because I know you so well. I say because I know my God.

God says these words to us. Through a man who had slept with another mans woman and had him killed, a man who acted as if he were insane to keep from being killed, a man who was the leader of a gang of criminals and outcasts, and a man who knew a lot of violence. Listen with your heart.

Psalm 139:14 (The Message)


 13-16 Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out; you formed me in my mother's womb. I thank you, High God—you're breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made! I worship in adoration—what a creation! You know me inside and out, you know every bone in my body; You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something. Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth; all the stages of my life were spread out before you, The days of my life all prepared before I'd even lived one day.

"Everything Glorious" by David Crowder

The day is brighter here with You
The day is brighter here with you
The night is lighter than it's hue
Would lead me to believe
Which leads me to believe
(chorus)
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
And I am Yours
What does that make me?

My eyes are small but they have seen
the beauty of enormous things
Which leads me to believe
there's light enough to see that
(chorus)

From glory to glory
You are glorious You are glorious
From glory to glory
You are glorious. You are glorious
Which leads me to believe
why I can believe that

You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
And I am Yours
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
And I am Yours

From glory to glory From glory to glory
You are glorious. You are glorious.
You are glorious. You are glorious.
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
And I am Yours

To all the Monicas out there. You are created wonderfully and God will make you glorious. Believe it.
