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.
