Two Prayers

There are two prayers that I pray. The first is, "Lord, please help me to know myself as I am. Don't let me be blind to my faults." The second prayer is, "Lord, please help me to see myself as you see me." It is the second prayer that gives me courage. Yes, I want to know where I fall, I want to know the weak places in my life, but more than anything I want to know the strength God's love. I want to know that God sees not only who I am now but who I am becoming in His love.
