Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than self. Love doesn't want what it doesn't have. Love doesn't strut, doesn't have a swelled head, doesn't force itself on others, isn't always "me first."
- 1 Corinthians 13:4-5, THE MESSAGE

dear God I must confess
that sometimes You seem far away
sometimes i forget about
how i stand because of grace
but Lord there's been a change in me
a change i hope will stay
for this is my prayer today
I have not much To offer You Not near what You deserve But still I come Because Your cross Has placed in me my worth
Oh, Christ my King Of sympathy Whose wounds secure my peace Your grace extends To call me friend Your mercy sets me free
And I know I'm weak I know I'm unworthy To call upon Your name But because of grace Because of Your mercy I stand here unashamed
I can't explain This kind of love I'm humbled and amazed That You'd come down From heavens heights And greet me face to face
Here I am at Your feet In my brokeness complete
Because of His mercy, i am worthy. worthy to be loved, regardless. and i shouldn't let anyone tell me otherwise. i shouldn't. i shouldn't. neither should anyone of you out there who feels likewise.
He loves us. He loves us. for who we are. every minute and every day. when we are strong, or when we are weak. when we are rich, or when we are poor. even when we are inadequate, when we don't meet His standards. He still loves us. all because of the cross. Don't let anyone, anyone at all, tell you otherwise. not even yourself.
