## My Shameful Self vs God’s Love Poem By Christen Kuikoua

The lord is my shepherd, why should I stumble?

In the midst of tribulation, He holds my hands

He Protects me from my greatest adversary

Fights my battle in times of war

And feeds me whenever hunger strikes

Never have I ever lacked,

For he always has provided

In my shivering and pain,

He heals me

Never has he ever forsaken me,

Though my ungrateful self does

He gifted my mouth with songs and graced my hand with poetry.

What a gift I didn’t deserve

Can’t count the number of time death was deserved

Instead, he showed me grace

He calls me his, Though I don’t feel worthy

Yet by my side in my greatest falls, He Remains

What a loving God I call my own,

though his love is not deserved by me
