dear sister,
his attention does not
your body, your waist does not
your upbringing, your family does not
your skin, your hair does not,
your money, your fame does not,
your book, your intelligence does not
your weakness, your struggle does not
does not 
does not
does not
does not
does not
does not
DOES NOT validate you

dear brother,
her attention does not
your grit, your strength does not
your job, your money does not
your skin, your hair does not
your muscle, your height does not
your book, your intelligence does not
your weakness, your struggle does not
does not 
does not
does not
does not
does not
does not
DOES NOT validate you

dear sister,
sister
Christ alone validates,
complete security is with Him
His love stands the test of time;
His attention is held by your belief,
by your obedience
by your sincere love for Him
by your trust in Him 
by your reverent fear of Him.

dear brother,
please hear me dear brother
Christ alone validates,
the greatest honor comes from Him
His love stands the test of time;
His attention is held by your belief,
by your obedience
by your sincere love for Him
by your trust in Him 
by your reverent fear of Him.

sisters and brothers
in Christ
the whims and changes
the ins and outs
of this world
do not validate you,

validation from this world and from people 
changes like the temperature,
one day hot
one day cold;
one day high
one day low

they can love and hate you
in the same week
they can question and doubt
when you answer
they can sentence you in the courts
without a fair trial

So we must take up our cross.

Christ validates us.
Christ alone.
