To the one who knows me as I really am
and still loves me.
Today, I bring all of me—
my hopes and my fears,
my dreams and my doubts,
the part of me that likes to please other people,
and the part that genuinely desires You.
I bring all of me—
my anger and my past,
my goals and my priorities,
my flflagrant forgetfulness of Your glory,
and the familiar memories of my pain.
Here are my loves,
here are my needs,
here is my hurt,
here is my desire.
I bring my gifts as well.
All that I have and all that I am—
the abilities You gave me,
the training I’ve acquired,
the motivation to do good,
the strength of my convictions,
the influence I have with others,
the interests and passions that inspire me.
I bring You my stuff,
so much stuff, that I’ve cluttered
my heart and my home with.
I bring You my stuff as well.
