despite my being me
O My Dear Father, I cry out to you!
Not in despair but in thanksgiving!
Thank you for showering me with so many blessings,
For fulfilling all your promises to me,
For directing my path,
For making me realize a lot of things about life.
For saving me from the snares of the enemy.
For giving me even the little things I ask -- the bonuses -- the icings in the cake.
For being faithful to me despite my unfaithfulness.
For giving me the comfort of your love.
For giving me people to share my life with.
For giving me friends who accept me as I am.
For giving me the purpose and meaning of my life.
For the music I am hearing right now which reminds me of the happy moments from the past...moments that I will always treasure in my heart.
For this time, Lord, for I can freely worship You.
Thank You for everything!
Thank You for all the learning experiences from the past.
Thank You for taking away the pain, bitterness, and anger in my heart. Thank you for healing the wellspring of my life!
Thank You for giving me patience to wait for your time.
Most of all, thank You, Lord, for giving me eternal life.
I couldn't ask for more...
