A Woman's Deepest Desire

Even as a little girl,
in our princess gowns
and tiaras
we want our daddy to say those magic words:
You're lovely!
You're beautiful!
You're cherished!
But for many of us,
those words don't come.
We wonder what we did wrong
We wonder what we can do right
and we spend the rest of our lives
trying to gain that love from our fathers
As the years wear on,
and our daddys grow even more distant
we realize that this dream may not be achieveable
so we search in the world for the love that we lacked in our childhood
we try being beautiful
having the perfect body
living up to the media's expectations
we try finding love in boys
but the boys that we go to for love,
aren't the kind that give it out
we search all over
through our jobs
through our friends
until we give up
and hide
beneath baggy clothes
lots of makeup
frizzy hair
and a bag of chocolate
we hide our true selves
the being that God created
we hide her, because she's been hurt so many times by the world
the world doesn't deserve to know her
and you don't want to be hurt again
so you hide her away
locking your heart behind steel bars
and throwing away the key
if you're distant, no one can get to you -
so you don't get hurt
if you don't get too personal at work -
no one can hurt you
if you don't grow and put work into relationships -
no one can leave you, so you don't get hurt
it begins a cycle of hiding
and fear
that spirals downwards,
until the girl we initially locked away -
we don't even recognize.
That was who I was?
I was lovely?
I was beautiful?
I was cherished?
Until we break down.
The good news is - this story doesn't have to end badly.
As women we have a choice.
To turn to God, our Heavenly Father with the perfect love,
and He tells us:
You are beautiful!
You are cherished!
You are lovely!
At this broken point in our lives, we often look to him and wonder:
Why?
He smiles and tells us:
You're created in my image.
You are my daughter.
And I love you - I will never leave you, nor forsake you.
He picks up our broken being,
and craddles us close -
as the little girl inside of us always dreamed.
Being cherished by our Father.
At last, our heart's deepest desire has been fulfilled.
We are loved.
We are lovely.
We are cherished.
And we are beautiful - because God created us in His image.
