As I gazed up at
the mountains, I was awed by their majesty;
I bowed my head and asked myself, "Why should He care
for me?
I am not great
like the mountains that tower so high above,
What is there
about me that God can find to love?"
"Father, I am not strong like the wind that makes your
tall trees sway,
I cannot sing sweetly like your birds; will you love me
anyway?
But most of all, I am simply me, and often have cause to
fear,
In spite of all
my weaknesses, do you promise to be near?"
With eyes closed tight against my tears, I wished He could
hear me pray.
Then I felt His
Spirit tell me, "Child, look up, I have something to say.
"You are simply you, the spirit I love, a part of my
great plan.
I put you here to
learn of life and to return to me again."
"You are more beautiful to me than the loveliest
mountain I made,
And your strength exceeds that of the wind's, so do not be
afraid.
I love you not for what you are, but for what I know you
will be.
I am always beside you watching you grow, you are very
special to me."
A smile touched
my lips - I knew it was true, my Father had always been there
Giving me comfort and blessings and love and my own special
talents to share.
So I do my best to make Him proud. I am not afraid, for you
see,
He loves me not for what I am, but for what He knows I will
be.
