You Know What You Are

If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace for you know what you are. ~ Mother Theresa

Knowing what I am
has terrified me,
haunted me,
felt done, complete,
identified as odious.
But I'm not what I was,
and knowing what I am
is knowing surrender,
willingness, discipleship,
a life of peace, of joy,
of love.
