Still Loved - Monday Motivation

Watched an old movie over the weekend, The Fighting Temptations. I wasn't as crazy about the story line as I was when I first watched it, but the songs still stirred deep within me. I especially loved the song He Still Loves Me. I've included some of the lyrics below.

"He Still Loves Me" (from "The Fighting Temptations" soundtrack)

Took me a while But I'm finally here So I just wanna testify Make it crystal clear (take your time)

See I've been picked out to be picked on (oh lord) Talked about outta my friends mouth I've been beat down (pray) 'Til He turned my life around (turn my life around)

Seems like I always fall short of being worthy 'Cause I ain't good enough But He still love me

I ain't no superstar The spotlight ain't shining on me (no no no no no) 'Cause I ain't good enough But He still love me love me

I used to wake up somedays And wish I'd stayed asleep (Why can't she get up) 'Cause I went to bed on top of the world Today the world's on top of me

Everybody's got opinions (they share) They ain't been in my position (they don't care) That it breaks my heart When I hear what they have to say about me yeah (what they say about you)

Seems like I always fall short (falling short) Of being worthy (Lord I ain't worthy) 'Cause I ain't good enough (no no) But he still love me (still love me)

I ain't no superstar (I ain't no superstar) The spotlight ain't shining on me (I wanna be for you) 'Cause I ain't good enough But He still love me

I'm not perfect (I'm not perfect) Yes I do wrong (yes I do wrong) I'm trying my best (trying my best but) But it ain't good enough (just ain't good enough)

Shunned by the world (shunned by the world) If I don't succeed 'Cause I ain't good enough But He still love me (I just ain't good enough) But You love

If you ain't worthy just raise your hands And let me know that you understand That we are all so blessed to be loved, loved

Stand for Him or fall for anything 'Cause through His eyes we all look the same What will we do without pain

As this new month begins, I'm looking to a successful month. But I am aware that things may not always turn out the way I will want them to. I'm going to feel unworthy or criticized for so much, but He will still love me. That's good enough for me.

Happy Monday. Happy new month.
