Knowing My Worth

I’m not who I used to be
I’m stronger than a million moons
My faith flows through me like the sea
My mind is clear
My heart is at peace
The Lord has been testing me
Testing my strength by threatening to take my 
Most precious gifts away from me
I understand now
I have to appreciate what he has blessed me with
I lost sight of a lot of things
Worrying and crying wondering what it all means
All I had to do was give it to God 
And know that everything would be fine
He has taught me so much in so little time
The blessings I have are not to be taken for granted
I had a lot of growing up to do and healing on the inside
I had to learn that it’s ok to swallow my pride
God shows you things in ways that will shock you in to reality
He will test your faith and your mentality
I’m more positive now and most definitely grateful
I can feel me changing for the better 
I’m growing more and more each day
I thank him with all my heart for helping me find my way
Everything I ever wanted was right in from of me all along
I have faith, so I focus more on what’s right in my life
Instead of the wrong
I am strong, I am blessed, I am favored and I am loved
I give all thanks to the amazing man up above.
