You Are…
You are fearfully and wondrously madeSo stop crouching cowardly in the shade… Of other folk’s opinionsAnd with courage take dominion… By stepping out of the shadows into the lightForget all […]
You are fearfully and wondrously made
So stop crouching cowardly in the shade…
Of other folk’s opinions
And with courage take dominion…
By stepping out of the shadows into the light
Forget all of this media hype…
Because what’s on the outside doesn’t really matter
Therefore, just block out all the negative chatter…
And hear what the still small voice is saying
While you keep listening and never stop praying…
For God does not judge by the outward that’s shown
But what is on the inside—the heart alone…
So no matter what others think, do or say
Just keep living the righteous way…
And continue looking in that mirror and smile
For you are truly loved My dear child.

c.f. leach
A walking miracle---her spiritual journey began at seven years old, when she was baptized by the late, Pastor K.L. Moore, Jr., of the First Baptist Church in Frankfort, Kentucky, her birthplace. Very thankful for her spiritual upbringing which gave her a strong foundation and a respect for the word of God. Which now affords her the opportunity to share His word with others and testify about His saving her from leukemia.
She is the mother of six, a cancer survivor, pastor, and previous newspaper editor. Has published articles in The Voice In The Wilderness Magazine and a poem published in Great Poems of the Western World. She along with her husband, Elder Bobby Leach, live in Land O Lakes, Florida.
Lovely words to encourage!
