GOD DOES NOT LIKE UGLY

June 16th, 2020

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17 - Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

It is often said that God Doesn t Like Ugly

Well, if that was true, He really doesn t love me

The day I accepted Him, I was in a hideous state

Baffled, a Holy God would consider me to take

For years, my external presentation covered the marks

However, my internal condition was ugly and torn apart

While looking the part, my heart needed a divine tailor

Yet, I was a public success, but certainly a private failure

Cleverly, I was able to hide my demise

But, on one dark day, The Son begin to rise

I was exposed and broken without an escape or remedy

I ve been here before, but this time it was the end of me

I surrendered my life for a spiritual examination

Realizing I am a sinner at the beginning of a transformation

For the first time I saw ugliness, yet, the Lord said perfect

Grace took my place, despite, I was clearly unworthy

A lifestyle of lust, fornication, hatred, and selfishness

Then, there was idolatry, adultery, dissension, and drunkenness

Yet, the Lord promised to make me new in 2nd Corinthians 5:17

Transforming an ugly wretch like me, eventually made clean

Therefore, I am a new creation, yet, still in old skin

Reconciled as His child, but always seen as beautiful to Him

Prayer: I glance back to see Your grace all over my face. The external beauty perceived by man was truly ugly.

The beauty You saw in me from the inside out is what really matters. Now, I can say, I am wonderfully made.

Thank You, Jesus! I didn t believe the possibility of a transformation until I trusted You through faith.

The scripture says everything is made beautiful in its time.
