This little verse really ministered to me and encouraged me. I felt better immediately after reading it several times. I hope you also find it an inspiration to help you through your weeks ahead.
O Lord
Here I am again
Just plain old me
Coming to you
As I often come a thousand times –
And this is what always happens:
Your response is immediate
You open yours arms unhesitatingly
To draw me to yourself
You clasp me to your Father-heart.
Then you reaffirm my position:
I’m a child of the King
And all that is Yours is mine.
When I begin my stammering account
Of gross unworthiness
Your gentle smile hushes me.
With endless patience
You remind me once more
That my value never determines Your love.
Rather, your love determines my value.
