I rejected you
because I thought
I was undeserving.
I turned from you
because I couldn't
see your blessings.
I hated you
for becoming silent
when I cried out.
I despised you
for bringing me
to my knees.
But then...
You sought me
when I was furthest
from your grace.
You called me
out of darkness
into your glorious light.
You wanted me;
your desire was for me
to know your love.
You chose me
as your child,
adopted into your family.
