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.
