Smile POEM for inspiration!!!

This came from the book "The Purpose Driven Life"
Author of the book is Rick Warren
The poem was written by Russell Kelfer.

You are who you are for a reason.
You're part of an intricate plan.
You're a precious and perfect unique design,
called God's special woman or man.

You look like you look for a reason.
Our God made no mistake.
He knit you together within the womb,
You're just what he wanted to make.

The parents you had were the ones he chose,
And no matter how you may feel,
They were custom-designed with God's plan in mind,
And they bear the Master's seal.

No,that trauma you faced was easy.
And God wept that it hurt you so;
But it was allowed to shape your heart
So that into his likeness you'd grow.

You are who you are for a reason,
You've been formed by the Master's rod.
You are who you are beloved,
Because ther is a God!!!

thanks for posting the poem, I got a tear in my eye when i read the part:
No,that trauma you faced was easy.
And God wept that it hurt you so;
But it was allowed to shape your heart
So that into his likeness you'd grow

I know I'm growing as a person in a good way today!

Thank you Jessie,
That was meant for even the smallest of us all. There's room for all of us.
