Teaching Me

I wanted to say thanks,

For believing in my life.

For looking past my faults,

Praying me through my strife.



When all I could see,

As I looked into my mirror,

Was weakness and failings,

And a life, anything but pure.



You saw what I could not,

And saw what God said would be,

You insisted I look closer,

And revealed to me, what you see.



You told me you saw joy,

You said you saw a strength.

You promised I was loved,

Would be through life’s length.



Thank you for your love,

Encouraging me, not so much to change,

But to accept the person I am,

To meet myself within God’s range.



While I still tend to look,

At all the things I do and say wrong.

The Holy Spirit through you,

Is teaching me to see that God

In me shines strong.
