If I were an Angel

If you were an angel, where would you be?
Flying around in heaven or walking here on earth with me?
If you were Jesus, what would you do?
Be with the Father in heaven or rather with people just like you?

If you were not born, nobody would have known
nobody would even have cared,
not even you would have dared
to wonder why nobody cared

It’s only since the day you were formed
You became someone to be adored
You gave your life to Jesus and He set you free
to be His bride, His joy and His pride

I don’t understand it
But I’m so glad He does:
He chose to know you…
and still keeps on loving you!

You with your flesh and bones, emotions and breath
will still be with Jesus long after your death
Now you see, if I were an angel…
I would have wished I were you!

Flower

The essence of a flower is the aroma and the colour of the petals.
Sadly, when one petal is missing or bruised,
the flower is often esteemed as unfit to be used.
Imagine, only one single petal missing and it’s simply cast aside!

The one-petal-missing-flower astonishingly continues to portray and spread its authentic quintessence.
In the bin between the trimmed leaves, thorns, empty paper cups and apple cores, it fills the dark inside with its beauty and redolence.

If you feel you carry a label called “reject,”
Haven’t you noticed, no person is perfect? (Rom 3:23)

Through My eyes, Jesus says, I value the imperfect without a dent
Some petals may be bruised, others absent
they will still be in My posy, some in a bouquet
I will never just toss them away

It hurt when you have lost the petal, and you wept
when I picked you up to place you in the centre of the set

I am so glad you have stopped crying, but why do you turn your face aside?
When I put you in the posy, it was not meant for you to hide.

I chose you because I love you! Even though you miss a petal or three
you will always remain perfect-petal-precious to Me!”
