Already Somebody. Poem by Carl R Nicolas

I do not have to chase importance,
I do not have to perform for recognition,
when I am already somebody to You...

For blessed is the nation
whose God is the Lord,
a people chosen,
not by status,
not by power,
but by His love...

What greater honor can there be
than to belong to the Creator of all things?

To know that in His eyes
we are not forgotten,
not overlooked,
not ordinary...

We are His inheritance.
Chosen.
Called.
Cherished...

Because when the Lord is our God,
and we are His people,
we do not need to become somebody.
We already are...
Carl Nicolas.
