Since my self-esteem
has always been so low,
till Jesus sent His
healing,
with gentle Grace and
Love,
I still am very hard
on me.
so, my billboard of life,
as I began to write,
was filling up, rapidly,
with all my faults and
flaws.

Then, Jesus gently said
to me,
"Let me do the writing here,
for I will tell the truth".

So here is what my Lord does
say of me His child dear.

" Here you'll find my child
dear.
Her heart a gentle one.
Compassion fills her soul
so sweet,
she loves with Grace Divine.
I've healed her hurts,
and bound her wounds,
and she's My very own.
She's raised her children
with love and care.
Her husband delights in
love so deep.
A better friend she could
not be.

She uses her gift of poetry
to praise My Holy Name.
To uplift and encourage all
who read her words of verse.
And this I say of her,
and to all my beloved ones,
each of you on Passions page
who glorify My Name....

WELL DONE MY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANTS
WELL DONE MY BELOVED POETS HERE".

Oh Ellie, Your sweet, tender, gentle heart is always shining so brightly.  And I'm sure, after reading this, that you and I have for sure, walked on the same path.  This piece is just so beautifully you....What an inspiration you are.   Bonnie

Ellie,
  Your poem spoke to my heart, We sometimes can only see a short distance, but Jesus sees the amazing tranformations that He can accomplish in our lives! We often cling to our caterpillar identities when we have already have become beautiful butterflies! Thanks be to GOD that because of His tender mercies we can share in his Glory and purpose. Your poem was very meaningful to me!

This, as all your work, is delightful, and so true of our loving Father.  You have the eyes of an angel, my dear, and we're all so blest for your presence.  Thank you

What is this billboard that I see
Coming up in front of me?
Oh it's one with Ellie's  picture
And does it not bring me cheer
That radiant smile, that tender heart
Yes that's her right from the start
A very good likeness is captured here
And It's signed, Your Savior Dear.
What a billboard maker, you did employ
Now yor billboard, brings us ALL joy!

Yes it appears that you have been given a clear picture of yourself--for this is how we see you too--one wonderful person whose life has been underwritten by her Loving Lord-  Well done,  David
