Spent today in a conversation
In the mirror face to face with
somebody less than perfect
I wouldn’t choose me first if
I was looking for a champion
In fact I’d understand if
You picked everyone before me
But that’s just not my story
True to who You are
You saw my heart
And made
Something out of nothing
I don’t need my name in lights
I’m famous in my Father’s eyes
Make no mistake
He knows my name
I’m not living for applause
I’m already so adored
It’s all His stage
He knows my name oh, oh,
He knows my name oh, oh
I’m not meant to just stay quiet
I’m meant to be a lion
I’ll roar beyond a song
With every moment that I’ve got
True to who You are
You saw my heart
And made
Something out of nothing
He calls me chosen, free, forgiven, wanted, child of the King
His forever, held in treasure
I am loved
I don’t need my name in lights
I’m famous in my Father’s eyes

This song speaks to me in so many ways…. Do we really know how precious we are to God?? It amazes me when I think about the details of my life and that He still chose me. Me—a girl once so beaten down by life and caught up in the depths of despair. But I am redeemed, I am chosen and He knows my name!
And so, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved,
put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience;
Colossians 3:12
He knows who you are and He knows who you are meant to be…and, oh sweet sisters, you are so adored!
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us,
that we should be called children of God!
And that is what we are!
The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him.
1 John 3:1
We don’t need applause from man or our name in lights. We only need to live for an audience of One. We were chosen by Him.
“Your Heavenly Father is the creator of the universe. God created all things. He is holy, righteous, omniscient, all knowing, loving, full of grace and mercy, and He calls you his child. You are a co-heir to the one and true God, and you will receive all the benefits that are attached to being an heir.”
(From Adored By God…by Karen Stubbs.)

But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people.
You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession.
As a result, you can show others the goodness of God,
for He called you out of the darkness into His wonderful light.
1 Peter 2:9

Father, thank You for seeing my heart and for making something out of nothing. For choosing each one of us and calling us out of the darkness surrounding us and into Your wonderful light. May we produce good fruit and remember each day that we are living for You. In Jesus’ name. Amen!!!
