Didn't I tell you?

*This is a poem I wrote for myself, to read on my "bad days". Maybe it can help you too :) I know when you look in the mirror The only thing you see is a shattered image and a thousand broken dreams. But how can I convince you that you are much more than you seem, that you are worth dying for, you are worth trying to redeem. Its ok to be upset, to have a hard day But please dont run away from me, I want you to know that its ok to tell me whats going on the turmoil in your heart because even your darkest, scariest secrets wont drive us apart. Because I formed you in the hidden place and set you apart in a chosen race I know you and I understand That things didnt go the way you planned. But if you just trust me, and give up your own will I can fulfill you more than anything else will and on your bad days please dont hide your face from me you are precioius, you are my treasure, and my strength can set you free from those chains that you wont let go of. Those ghosts in your past. Didn't you hear me tell you that those things didnt last when I burst forth from the grave. And Im standing here alive today as proof that I am who I say I am, and you are who I say you are. And everytime you fall, and then crawl back on your feet You glorify me! Everytime you mess up and turn back around to see if I am dissappointed, I am not. I died so that now all you have is my grace, and dear child, that is all you will ever need.
