A Moment with God

God and I had a moment on my way to work this morning.  I was singing along with my favorite group Mercy Me to one of my favorite songs "Beautiful."  As the song was playing, I was thinking about many people I know that needed the message.  We all do this at times when we hear a sermon or a lesson... It's a lesson "someone else" needs.

In the bridge, as I'm singing at the top of my lungs, the "moment" began:

Before you ever took a breath

Long before the world began

Of all the wonders He possessed

There was one more precious

Of all the earth and skies above

You're the one He madly loves

Enough to die

God was not sending this message for "someone else"; He was sending this message for me!  I began to wonder what if every "you" was replaced with "I"?  Before I ever took a breath.  I'm the one He madly loves.  Fortunately I was listening to my CD so I started the song over and attempted to listen to the message God had for me in that moment. 

The days will come when I don't have the strength

When all I hear is I'm not worth anything

Wondering if I ever could be loved

And if they truly saw my heart they'd see too much

I'm beautiful

I had a praise Jesus moment right then.  In my mission to assist people with their own self-worth, I need to take the time to pay attention to my own.  I am made for so much more than all of this.  I am treasured.  I am sacred.  I am His.
