DON'T CHANGE

I was a neurotic for years. Anxious, depressed, selfish. And everyone kept telling me to change.

And I resented them, and agreed with them, and wanted to change, but simply couldn't, no matter how I tried.

What hurt the most was that, like the others, my closest friend kept urging me to change.
So I felt powerless and trapped.

One day He said: "Dont't change. I love you as you are."

Those words were music to my ears: "Don't change. Don't change.
Don't change...I love you as you are."

I relaxed. I came alive. And suddenly....I changed!

Now I know that I really couldn't change till I found someone to love me whether I changed or not.

Is that how you love me God?
