You've given me something greater

You've given something greater than just life.

You've made all my wrongs turn right. 

Not that I haven't suffered, because you know that I have, but you've given meaning when I felt lost and confused. 

I searched every outlet and avenue trying to find some way to cope. 

Trying to mask my pain. Trying not to mope. 

But your light shined in my darkest place and put me in a much better place where I could finally see what all I had been going through.

I like to say that hindsight is 20-20, but life is sometimes funny that way to make me realize all the ways that you've organized my messy life into something categorized. 

My life is nowhere near perfect, and I don't intend it to be. 

But I am glad to have a helper in my calamity. 

Without you I probably wouldn't make it. 

Without you I would be a goner.

Oh how easy it is to forget that without you I am nothing. 

I need you. 

I want you. 

I don't want any other life without you. 

You haven't fixed everything but you're helping me to see that everything doesn't need to be fixed. 

You take me as I am and make me better than I was the day before. 

I'll be a better person further down the road but I've got a long way to go. 

And I'm okay with that. I'm okay with letting you in more and more each day, shining your light and showing your grace. 

I'm a messed up individual but you make life a little more manageable. 

A little more doable. 

And a lot more spiritual. 

I'm just a physical entity with a whole lot of depravity but you're making me into something greater. 

I'll get there soon enough, and I've got plenty of stuff to work out. 

I'm just glad that I got you. 

My helper. My friend. My Lord.
