God and me

what does it mean to be your daughter LORD?
is it perfection? Creation made perfect?
or is it acceptance? Of who we are and who others are.
that even angels are not perfect.
but they are loved, just as we are.

why did you make us so flawed LORD?
to right a wrong and give Satan a chance to repent?
Or to prove that love is the only way.
Satan chooses hate as his weapon because he knows you are love.

he tries to undermine you by attacking your greatest weapon - love.

He takes love from those who have it
Shines it in the light so we can see just how imperfect it is.
He steals it from us little by little so we don't even notice
And then we wonder why we are all strangers.

You say love never fails
love covers a multitude of sins
love activates faith
without it all the glory, all the miracles in the world are meaningless.

So what do you expect of me, your daughter?
Not just to live my life to the full, not just to achieve all that I can.
But to do all this with love.
To do less things than this with love.

Always when given a choice.
My choice must always be to love.
I am your daughter.
You made me this way.

What if I can't?
You will still love me.
