I searched for meaning,
Acceptance, and love;
I looked all around me,
Never finding enough.
Weary from searching,
I fell to my knees;
My tears forming rivers
On the ground beneath me.
Then I raised my eyes
As nail-scarred hands
Pulled me up to my feet
And helped me to stand.
As He lifted me up,
I found in His face
All I had searched for --
Love, mercy, and grace.

I love those who love me,
And those who seek me
diligently will find me.
(Proverbs 8:17)
