Where do I begin, to love myself again? To see me as you see me, how do I love myself for who I am? You say that you’re our Shepard and we are your sheep, How can I love myself when this pain is too deep? Help me understand, how my life is part of your plan and that I’m unique in your eyes and you’re my biggest fan. The pain I’ve felt for so long will only make me grow strong, yet at times these painful memories take me back to my dreadful past, but you lift me up and in you my lord, I find peace and rest. You show me love and compassion for my weary soul. Peace and hope in you make me complete and whole. You tell me, I’m beautiful when I feel miserable and that your love for me is unconditional. Teach me to love my broken heart and hurting soul. To live in the moment of chaos and still find your peaceful joy. Help me to love myself with all my flaws and broken parts and even though you see all the bad in me, you still want all of me, because you love me unconditionally I want to appreciate who I am and love myself again, To feel beautiful like the flowers that bloom in the spring. Oh, how lovely you make all things! Lord, only you can help me love who I truly am. So, I will hope and trust in you completely because for my life, you always had a plan.
