Abba,
I can’t believe you love me
the things I love, you love,
you value and you care
much more than I have.
As you make me whole
I see me more clearly,
you wipe away the fog on my lens,
and the expectations of others upon me –
good intentions, fleeting judgments
that I’ve collected, layers of scabs over my shame.
I can’t believe you love me
when I’ve never felt good enough,
missed expectations, disappointed myself.
You love me, you love my heart,
where I’ve always, only just been me,
no more and no less.
I’m a child with a perfect Father,
you know me
I love you Abba
Amen.
