"Love The Skin You're In"

Every human being was created a unique design.
You were made perfect in God's mind.
From your head to your feet your were wonderfully critiqued.
There's no one in the world just like you.
Even though some say God made two, yes that may be true.
You may look like me, walk like me, or even talk like me,
But still there is no other exactly like me.

God made me perfect whether you think so or not.
You may not like me but God loves me alot.
Yes I am different from anyone you see.
I was made in his image, molded together beautifully.
Whether you are black or white, short or tall, fat or thin.
It doesn't matter Love The Skin You're In.

God is our creator and Heavenly father. He created us exactly as he wanted us to be. Each one of us is a reflection of him. He loves us equally, no matter what gender, race, religion, or background we may come from, He knows us indiviually. Love yourself, because God loves you. Love others because he loves them too. The earth and everything in it belongs to God. One day we will return back to him. Will he know who you are? Will you be some recreated person inside and out? Or will he recognize you as the son or daughter that he created?. Thank heavens God did not make us all the same. What if everything we tasted was salty, or sweet? He created so many flavors for us to taste and eat. People are just that way too. What if we all were Black, or White? What a boring world we would live in. Thank you God for everyone you created... Mexican, Native American, Chinese and Asian, Africans, Latinos, Bi-racial, White, Iranians, Brazilians, tribesman, Indian, everybody. What a beautiful rainbow we make. We all belong to God no matter who we are. He loves us. God sees no color. What a wonderful world it would be if we see each other as He sees us? What peace we would have if we loved each other the way he loves us? That love would conquer all transgressions. Earth would be the paradise God intended it to be, no wars, no discrimination, crime, violence, homelessness, injustice, unfairness. What a wonderful place the earth would be if none of these things existed? Why can't we love each other? Love is such a small word, but it seems to be the hardest thing to do. Jesus' greatest command is that we love one another. Thank you God for your love. Inspite of how we are, the wrong that we do, and all of our short comings, you still love us. You still give us a chance to start over again. You make us white as snow. Thank you for your love, that surpasses all understanding. I'm so glad you are not like us. Thank you for making me the way you wanted me to be, thank for all the different people and things you created. Thank you Jesus for dying for me. Thank you for the chance to have eternal life with you because you love me.
