Set in Stone-A Poem

A package came in the mail today

for me--

"Preapproved!" 

it said on the envelope.

I tore it open and looked inside.

There was joy on every page 

of The Book I found,

hard won joy from my Jesus

who said He was enough

to set me free

because He loved me.

"You're chosen," I read,

(me? imagine!)

treasured like a bride

(because I am, you know).

He said He came

because I am valuable,

worth dying for,

beloved as a child

(for I am, you know)

worth healing,

one wound-in-the-light

at a time.

I heard someone say

"The cure is the process."

I think this is the manual for

how to be whole.

This poem is prompted by my reading of the book "Love Idol" by Jennifer Dukes Lee, releasing on April 1st (available March 21st on Amazon.)  

The words in bold are on a "Preapproved" printable available on Jennifer's website here.

What kind of lies do we worship and worry about instead of looking at Jesus?  

THAT is the question....there are some answers inside this book.
