The Reason You Were Made

by Daniel Piper

We’re all hanging on by a thread of God’s grace.

Molecules caught up in the dance of time and space.

Moments flee and oxygen is finite

but the love of one another can burn forever bright.

Accolades tarnish and titles fade

but the Spirit of God will never fade.

Stars are born before and beyond the grave;

so let your light shine, it is the reason you were made.

Knowing your weakness is strength in the mind.

Being needy for God is how His light shines.

Stars are broken and stars are weak.

The truth of God shines through the humble and meek.

So hang onto that thread of God’s grace.

It leads to love, forever beholding heaven’s face.

Stars are born before and beyond the grave.

You are a star! So let your light shine, it is the reason you were made.

“Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in Heaven.” – Matthew 5:16 ESV
