I can do nothing to gain your love and acceptance.

I already have it…

Undeserved, but wanted and needed so much.

You paid the ultimate price,

Before I was here you loved me.

You died for me.

-

Its funny how when I mess up,

It takes a while for a fellow human to forgive.

Even my own family,

You gave to me.

The people who are really supposed to know me

Prove to me that they don’t know me so well.

But you know my heart.

-

You are the maker of life,

The keeper of my soul.

Though I am not perfect,

You love me forever.

And I know only you can be perfect,

But I keep trying to be like you.

Sometimes I think if I can be perfect,

Then others will accept me too.

-

But I have learned that I cannot please everyone,

And sometimes, not anyone but you.

You know me inside and out.

You knew me when I was in my mothers womb.

You know me 2000 years from now.

You say you chose me before the creation of the world.

-

But I feel unworthy of this love unconditional.

It seems the harder I try, the more I fail.

And you pick me up every time.

You never fail.

Your love is unconditional.

Thank you Jesus, for showing me what faith is.
