*********We Are Meant To Shine*********

We Are Meant To Shine

Within us all lies a buried treasure,

the search is half the fun.

And once it is uncovered,

it's not just "you", but "us" that's won.

You see the Father gave us each a gift,

a purpose we all must share.

And let me tell you first-hand,

it is to let us know He cares.

For once we were forgiven,

and our mistakes were all erased.

Self-loathing, hate, and judgement,

had now all been replaced.

For through His words and stories,

His boundaries clear and true,

The ominous clouds and darkened skies,

have turned light, so bright , and blue.

For He's made us many promises,

though one a real favorite of mine.

Which is; no matter what we may endure,

He wants us all to shine.....
