Call me ugly, call me trashy, say no one would want me.
Label me crummy, unworthy, unseemly.
Slinging your names stirs my doubts and threatens my identity.
But one truth stands: your words will not destroy me.
Why?
Because my God is for me, never against me, always with me.
He's made me indestructible, unbreakable, unstoppable.
Declared me excusable, forgivable, pardonable.
And to Him, I am lovable, treasurable, remarkable.
You can use me, manipulate me, and steal from me.
Pretend to love me, while your enmity is real.
Act as my ally, then secretly strike me down,
Then toss me aside like cold coffee on the ground.
But one truth stands: your actions will not destroy me.
Why?
Because my God is for me, never against me, always with me.
He's made me indestructible, unbreakable, unstoppable.
Declared me excusable, forgivable, pardonable.
And to Him, I am lovable, treasurable, remarkable.
Spread your rumors, talk badly, and try to turn the tide.
Push people to leave me, to reject me, to hide.
Inciting others to stand against me, side by side.
But one truth stands: their efforts will not destroy me.
Why?
Because my God is for me, never against me, always with me.
He's made me indestructible, unbreakable, unstoppable.
Declared me excusable, forgivable, pardonable.
And to Him, I am lovable, treasurable, remarkable.
When all is said and done, you'll find me still whole, still strong.
You'll wonder, you'll ponder, asking where you went wrong.
Why am I still existing, standing where I belong?
And though the answer might be hard for you to ingest:
It's because your worst is no match for God's best.
By,
Jeff Dalton
