I Am Valued By Him

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have no value as I stand,

No real inherent worth,

And yet I’m greatly valued by

The hand that formed the earth

And cast the stars across the skies

Eons before my birth.

 

I have not lived a perfect life,

I am well versed in sin,

And though I try to be better,

I fail, time and again.

Yet, He still treasures who I am,

Despite who I have been.

 

I’d like to say I understand

How such a love can be,

But, truly, it’s beyond my grasp,

This love He holds for me

And how He sees such value in

What I see as debris.

 

But since He places such value

On wayward souls like mine,

I will not question what He sees,

Or why His love is mine.

I’ll just be grateful He sees me

Through eyes of grace divine!

 

Romans 5:6-8 

For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
