My Relationship With Me - Makes the World a Better Place
To love yourself
Is to love in a wholesome way
It is accepting both
The good and the bad
That is in you
Resting in the assurance that
The good in us is of God
The bad in us is the result of The Fall
In the Garden of Eden
When Adam and Eve
Ate of the Forbidden Fruit
And lay claim to the knowledge
Of good and evil
Giving mankind a choice
Between good and evil
But there is no need
To blame Adam and Eve
For our Maker had HIS plan
From the beginning
In HIS Son Jesus Christ
To redeem us from evil
If only we could be transparent
And vulnerable
To humbly open up
The badness in our hearts
To God's Spirit
Who will cleanse and sanctify us
Slowly but steadily
To make us good
So that we become
More like HIM
And better human beings
Because of the Adam's nature in us
We are both goodness and badness
We have no problem in accepting
The goodness in others and us
It is the badness that we struggle with
And are guilty and ashamed of
It is the badness that we hide
It is the badness that we hate
Whether in others or us
We do not know how to
Get rid of our badness
But when you accept your badness
And are comfortable with yourself
You will stop self-condemnation
And being harsh to yourself
You will stop walking in a mask
In order to receive
Approval and acceptance from others
You will then allow
God to transform your badness
Gently and steadily
Even as you live your life daily
Then you will accept
The badness in the others
And accept them for who they are
You will not then condemn them
Or try to change them
Instead you will understand them
And appreciate them
Love them exactly where they are
Give them space to be themselves
And change themselves
With the help of God
And at their own pace
Your relationship with the others
Will be more harmonious
Your soul will be restful
You will enjoy love, joy and peace
Your life will be fulfilling
Enriched with purpose
With a sense of destiny
When we accept ourselves in a wholesome way
We begin to love ourselves in a wholesome way
This is to have a relationship with the self
This shift of attitude oh boy!
Leads to sweet serendipity
We will burn with a passion
Moved by HIS compassion
To feed the hungry
And make poverty history
To visit the prison
And set the captives free
To clothe the naked
And cover their shame
To make this world
A better place
For those who are
Made in HIS image
