I love You, Lord, for loving me

even when I’m not happy with myself
or anyone else.

Thank You for Your unconditional care –
love that’s always there
even though I can’t feel it when I disobey
or when I say something I soon regret.

I love You, Lord, for loving me
for who I am. But who? Who
am I, Lord?

I am
loving You.

I am loving
myself in you.

I am loving them
more and more and more.

Oh, thank You, Lord!
