I wrote this poem over a year ago, but I need these words just as much today. I hope that they will comfort you and bring you hope.

 

  

 

You Don't Need Me At All

 

Sometimes I think

what does this life even matter?

But what’s the matter with me?

You created matter-

out of nothing.

And nothing

is more amazing.

You were perfectly fine

being perfectly alone,

but you chose to make me anyway.

There’s nothing I can bring you

that you didn’t already give-

nothing I can do

and nothing I can say.

But that’s the beauty of it all.

You don’t need me to be beautiful.

In fact, You don’t need me at all,

but You want me,

you chose me,

and it astonishes me

that the God who made everything

would give up anything-

even His son-

just to be with me.

 

Friends, Jesus absolutely and whole-heartedly adores you. Thought you should know.
