In trying to learn that God loves me unconditionally, and just as I am, I decided to "re-write" the words to a country song by Martina McBride... Here it is, for your enjoyment! ;-P
by Martina McBride
Don't need no copy of old magazines
Don't need to dress like no beauty queen
High heels or sneakers, He don't give a darn
My JESUS loves me just the way that I am
My JESUS loves me just the way that I am
He never tells me I'm not good enough
Just gives me unconditional love!
He loves me tender, He loves me mad
He loves me silly, and He loves me sad
CHORUS:
He thinks I'm pretty, He thinks I'm smart
He likes my nerve, and He loves my heart
He's always sayin' He's my biggest fan
My JESUS loves me just the way that I am
My JESUS loves me just the way that I am
When there's dark clouds in my eyes
He just sits back and lets 'em roll on by
Come in like a lion, go out like a Lamb
My JESUS loves me just the way that I am
My JESUS loves me just the way that I am
(Chorus - repeat 2x)
Another thing that's been helpful is the page I printed out and hung beside my bed... it's from my Bible, and it lists my "Identity in Christ":
Romans 3:24.... I am justified (declared "righteous")
Romans 8:1.... No condemnation awaits me.
Romans 8:2.... I am set free from the power of sin that leads to death.
