What Have I Learned?


As the new year begins, I always take the time to reflect on what I have learned in the past year. What has life taught you? What have you learned from the Lord? Let's keep adding to the list.


Life has taught me to fear.
You have taught me to be brave.

Life has taught me to doubt.
You have taught me to trust.

Life has taught me to worry.
You have taught me to rest.

Life has taught me to retreat.
You have taught me to be a warrior.



Life has taught me that my worth is measured by the acceptance of my accomplishments.
You have taught me that my worth is not contingent on what I do, but is measured by the scope of Your limitless love and what You have already done.

Help me, Lord, to remember and to walk in what I’ve learned.
