Unconditional

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.

-

                                                                          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 mother's 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.
