Glory On His Lips

Someone sent me this link this morning
Mike Young

Listening to this brings me back to thinking about Who's voice I will choose to define and identify myself with.

Who's Voice.  Who's Words do I give the Power to define who I am?

Is it my parent I looked up to as a child... My parent who spoke defining words to me out of their own insecurity.... or maybe didn't speak any words because they were just as lost and broken as me?
Is it the world.... That always offers to have the one thing that will finally make me acceptable, have exactly what I've been needing, make me enough (weight wise, financial success, sex appeal, fashion, stuff) I think the "World" proves by its fruit that it is searching blindly for the exact same answers?
Is it Trevor.........Who, although he loves me, and thinks I'm beautiful, is only human, makes mistakes, isn't always constant, has his own feelings,  and could never possibly affirm me to the core?
Is it my own voice..... That seems to keep the bench mark a little higher than attainable, when it comes to acceptable?  Me, who often get's blindsided and captivated with my own shortcomings and failures.  Caught in the vortex of fear... that, left to my own devices,  I may never be "enough"

Or 

Can I take the sound all of these voices,
turn the volume to minimum
and tune the ears of my heart to what my 
Father is saying about me


 Accepted
There Are No Expectations Of Me
Perfectly Made 
Loved 
Complete
Believed In
Comforted
Cared For
Whole
Rescued 
Free
Seen
Known
Saved
Adopted 
Beautiful
Precious
Valued
Safe
Protected
Understood
Carried
Gifted
Blameless
Covered
Forgiven
Anointed
Healed
A light
A Voice
A Mighty One
A Sweet Fragrance to Him

Father, I am all of these things
 In You
I am a done deal
A finished work in Your Son

To You God, 
I am Beautiful
Help me to see and believe this, Father


XOXOXO
