Loves Me Anyway

Looking back on a poem I wrote in fourth grade:

I am me. 
I make mistakes and mess up at times. 
I give into temptation when the good is hard to find. 
Even though, I am sinful in His eyes, 
God loves me anyway. 
I sometimes laugh when I am supposed to cry. 
When I want to give up, He pushes me to try. 
With him, my mind is clear. 
I know where I am heading, without fear. 
He guides me in a direction to find out my purpose in life and who I am. 
Without my identity, I could not make a stand. 
I can go to God with anything. 
Even though he cannot be seen. 
I am one of a kind, God made me that way. 
Because of Him, I can find hope all of my days. 
No matter how dark the situation may be, I know I am not alone. 
I am able to turn to my friend, my Lord, my foundation. 
I am far from perfection to say the least, 
But He continues to love me anyway. 
I am grateful for all the things He has given me. 
I am appreciative of all the opportunities. 
He is powerful and I am strong. 
When I feel I am falling, God keeps me moving on. 
I am inspired to achieve my hopes and my dreams. 
I know with Him I can do anything. 
Nothing is impossible, nothing too far from reach. 
In my future, I will have great memories to keep. 
Even though He knows I will make mistakes along the way. 
God will love me anyway.
