I have learned
not to blame others for my pain.
~*~
I have learned
that it is my choices
that put me in my life's positions.
~*~
I have learned
I am responsible for my actions.
~*~
I have learned
when I hurt someone an apology
goes a long way.
~*~
I have learned
that I must forgive others
even though I know it may cause
an emotional struggle.
~*~
I have learned
not to punish myself or others
for human mistakes.
~*~
I have learned
that I am important.
~*~
I have learned
that guilt can be healthy,
it can show us what needs to be
changed in our lives.
~*~
I have learned
that peace, comfort, understanding,
joy, and always love,
is what I should bestow upon others,
for that is what our Heavenly Father
bestows upon me.
~*~
I have learned
if I get beat up along my life's journey,
it isn't more than what Jesus went through.
~*~
I have learned
God is using my experiences
to change me, mold me, and shape me,
so I will be ready to spend eternity with him.
~*~
I have learned
I need an eternal purpose.
~*~
I have learned
I am a person of value.
~*~
I have learned
that I am special, God made me.
~*~
I have learned
that life is hard, but God is good.
