All Because of You

Years ago, my life had no focus, no meaning, no purpose, no direction. I had no idea what I really wanted in life. I was in, looking back now, a dead end job that provided people with both intense happyness but also intense heartache. I had no family and I was miserable.
Now, with Your help, encouragement and love, I seem to have it all.
You encouraged me to take that step to find my real family, to accept them. Because of Your encouragement, I have two wonderful brothers and a great sister that I am very close to and who I think the world of! I am honored to be their big sister. You listened to my fears about the pain of their rejection, and You were there to kiss away the tears of joy when they accepted me as their sister. Even though He does have His moments, my Father is a wonderful Man, and I am so happy to have been accepted into His home. You were there and supported me through the fears of rejection and the adjustment period after the truth was discovered. You helped me work through my issues that helped me have the ability to be open to His love. You helped me work through the hatred for the woman who kept me from my Father through her deception. I have grandparents whom I adore. Your love and support helped me through the time of adustment to haveing a warm and welcoming family for the first time in years.
You encouraged me to find my passion and pursue a career I could really enjoy and flourish in. You encouraged me to pursue my education to better myself, for You. You stood by me and helped me overcome the difficulties I have faced. I am well on my way to a wonderful, fulfilling career, because of You.
I found the courage with You to open myself up to love. And in doing so, I have had the most incredible experiences. Because of You, I have had the courage and confidence to accept what I really am, the long silenced desires. Once I knew I would be accepted by You for all that I am, I knew, even before You said it, that I could trust You and that You would never hurt me.
Because of You, I went from a scared, emotionally fragile little girl to an empowered, happy, positive, driven young woman. All because of You, all for You, I am no longer miserable and scared.
Thank You for loving me, for supporting me, for encouraging me, for forgiving me, for being there for me, for making me Yours.
