Always left out, ignored, and neglected. The lonliness shatters my soul.
The gifts I can give are always rejected. Like Joseph, cast in a deep hole.
But yet there is one who sees worth in me. He loves me and calls me by name.
He was beaten and scorged then He hung on a tree. He suffered to take my shame.
Who is this man that would do this for me? Why would He endure so much pain?
For even the world sees nothing in me. What did He have to gain?
This man who died was God's own son. The one who created all things!
But why for me? Why was this done? For He is the king of all kings!
I am nothing but sin formed from dirt. But He gave me the breath of life
He covers my sin, takes away all my hurt. He carries my pain and my strife.
He calls me beloved, calls me His bride. I am the apple of His eye.
He calls me His jewel. Wants me by His side. But I keep asking - why?
Who is this king of Glory?
I think it is so incredible that we serve a God who sees in us what we can never see. The world only cares about people who are popular, wealthy, attractive, or who have power. But the Lord, the creator of EVERYTHING is not that way. The world saw Gideon as a coward but God saw Him as a mighty man of valor. Moses was a murderer and ran away but God saw in him someone who would be a great leader and help free all of Israel from slavery. Joseph's family misunderstood him and rejected him but God raised him up to be 2nd greatest to Pharaoh and helped save all lands from famine. Jesus used 12 uneducated men to turn the world upside down.
How incredible is this God we serve? He sees worth where no one else does. All those peole that get left out, are overlooked, are made fun of, are rejected - God sees great worth!!!
God sees great worth in you today - even if others don't. And does that matter? If the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the Creator, God Almighty Himself see worth in YOU then who cares what others think?
Be of good courage. You are not alone, you have worth, and you are loved.
