"But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me." --I Corinthians 15:10 I am what I am By His grace The man you see here With the smile on his face And because I have His grace divine I'll not waste it I'll let my light so shine I will work hard To give love To share with you His great strength, coming from above I am what I am Not for me But by His grace His love is what you see ------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Thanks to you all. . . this verse has always meant a lot to me. . . I discovered it when I was back in 11th grade and it has always done wonders for my self-confidence. "But by the grace of God, I am what I am. . ." makes you think. . . Thank you all again my friends. . . ----------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Sven, Wonderful writing here!!! Lovely verse and so true for us all. You have exceeded the challenge my friend. Thank you for taking it.  Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

I have to reiterate what everyone else has said here. This is wonderful verse and your heart certainly shined through it! <*\\\>< The will of God will never lead you, where the grace of God cannot keep you. |
