God's Artwork

Once again, I was reminded of God's unwavering love today while listening to music. Sixteen Cities is just an amazing band and a couple of their songs have greatly impacted my life recently. Their lyrics are so powerful and very applicable to my life and where I'm at in life right now.
The song I was listening to today is called "Someone's Work of Art." Here is a part of the song that is so encouraging to me...


You are someone's work of art
Just the way you are
And you're shining like the stars tonight
All the pieces of your heart
And all the lovely scars
Are someone's work of art.

When the lights go down
And no one's around
You're still standing there
Wishing someone cared
Can you hear me now?
I am screaming out
You're the one I choose
There's no one like you.

This song just paints such a powerful picture to me. A picture of God reaching his hand out to me, even after I have failed, and saying that I am the one he wants. 
Of God saying to me, "There is no one like you."
Even though I have screwed up so many times, even though I have chosen other things before I chose Him, even through it all...He loves me.
