Lord, You amaze me. How You love endlessly. How You listen. How You come to my aide. How You’re always on time. How You remain faithful to me through the good, bad, and ugly.

But the most recent piece of work from You that I’ve experienced is Your rendition of acceptance. How You are able to look past my scars, my bruises, and my mistakes. How You are able to call me beautiful, more than enough, worthy at the very moments I feel the complete opposite. How You are so quick to open Your arms out for me to run back to You. How You will always be pursuing me even at times when I think or believe I’m pursuing You back, while meanwhile I’m unmistakably ignoring You. How You soon forget what I’ve done because Your main concern is that I remain on the right path. How You guide me into that right path.

That right path that leads me to freedom, that leads me to forgiveness, that leads me to wholeness, that leads me to peace, that leads me to joy, that leads me to healing, that leads me to la vida hermosa, that leads me to love, and that ultimately leads me to You.
