me
Who am I?
How do I see myself?
From inside,
ㅤwhat is my view of…
Me
I easily descend into a view,
ㅤa perception,
That is inaccurate.
False.
I see a me that struggles.
That fails.
That has no…
Worth
But the truth differs.
The One who designed me,
ㅤwho created me,
Views me correctly.
He knows my…
Identity
My true identity.
My identity in him.
My identity as his child.
An identity I cannot,
ㅤI need not…
Earn
But my tendency is to reject that.
To attempt to earn.
To make myself valuable.
To make myself worthy.
To make myself…
Acceptable
So I hide my brokenness.
I cover over what I fear won’t be accepted.
I wear a mask.
I live my life in a…
Disguise
Only when I turn toward his truth…
Only when I reject my faulty view of self…
Only when I take off my mask…
Only when I share my hurt…
Can I feel accepted.
And only in the security of being accepted,
ㅤcan I be open to seeing my true self.
To living as my true self,
ㅤeven as I struggle with my brokenness.
I finally begin to learn that my struggles don’t define…
me
