What You Will Be

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.
