What Contrasting Views

Oh, you precious one, do you know who you're called to be ? As God looks at you do you know who it is He sees ? You have seen yourself as never quite being enough. But God sees such wealth, like a diamond shaped from the rough. Oh, don't be cast down, God believes for you better things. In Him worth is found, lasting worth as Life in Him brings. You have seen yourself as not being loved of others. But God surrounds you with mothers,sisters and brothers. What contrasting views, the way that you both look at you. Oh, you priceless one, the old is gone and you're made new.
