I Love You, Lord!

I love you, Lord...
not only for what you are...But for what I am because of You.

I love You, Lord...
not only for making me,But for what you are making of me.

I love You, Lord...
for the part of me you bring out with Your indwelling love.

I love You, Lord...
for putting Your hand into my heaped up heart and passing over the weak and foolish
things that You cannot help but see there.

I love You, Lord...
for drawing out into the light all the beauty that no one else seems to look hard enough to find.

I love you, Lord...
because you take the lumber of my life and turn it into a temple instead of a tavern.

I love You, Lord... for finding me in a time of weakness and bringing me into your fold.

I love You, Lord...for shedding Your precious blood for me so that someday I will live
with You in Paradise. 

Oh, how sweet are the days that begin with a talk with You.
I praise You for the desire You have given me to know You, to walk with You daily and to know what You desire for my life today.

You are my dear, precious Lord and Savior....And I just wanted to tell You today...
I Praise You ... and ....I Love You, Lord!
