Would You Still?


Would you still love me if you knew my insecurities?
 My faults?
My failures?


Would you still love me if you knew my thoughts?
My deepest desires?
My dreams?


Would you still love me if you knew the real me?  The one that is hidden from everyone, the one that I am afraid to reveal for fear of rejection? 


The real me, the one with flaws?


Would you still love me?


Total acceptance. No if’s, and’s, or but’s?


No trying to change me?


Loving me for who I am, nothing less and nothing more?


My Heavenly Father does just that.   He knows the real me, inside and out.  No hiding the truth about who I am.  Such a relief to find refuge in Him!  To know that although I do not have it all together, He loves me and accepts me.  Because I am a child of the King, there is no condemnation. 

Romans 8:1, “There is no condemnation to
those who are in Christ.”
