For Him, You Are

For God you are beyond labels
Neither woman nor man
Not simply encapsulated in
A sociological boundary
Of what you can and cannot be
Although you are His daughter
You are not simply female
You are more than the girl inside
You are becoming woman

He know the curves in your face
The shapes and lines to you
When He gazes at you,
He is heart-stoppingly amazed
At all the beauty there is to you
There's so much of it,
That He believes it must
Be obvious to the whole world
How can they all not see that?
You are more than enough
To stare and marvel at in a lifetime

You are beyond form
More than function
In God's eyes
You are the very essence
Of sweetness longed for
God has waited for just the right time
To release you on this earth
To breathe a unique breathe
Into the lives of others
Refreshing, rebuilding, reviving

For your father in heaven
You will always be
Most cherished, most loved
Sought after
The apple of His eye
You are not just, a wife or a mother
A friend or a profession, or occupation
You are irrevocably, undeniably,
A most beautiful thing to behold
A mirror of God's source
Reflecting majesty in all its kingly faces
Heart stopping, breathtaking,
And even, then, only in passing

For you, you are the testament
That the author perfect
Perfects His creation

Truly enjoyed the depths of spiritual philosophy that flow light and love through this poem. A lot of empowering wisdom fills every line.

This showed how God loved and valued us.
May we have the insight to know this.
