Love Me Like I Am

Love me like I am
Don’t try to change me for your benefit
If Jesus can love me as I am
Then, so can you
Don’t try to change me 
So that your children will approve of me
Love me like I am

Don’t compare me to your Ex-husband
Males don’t like that!
Love me like I am and 
Together we can conform to our future!
Don’t tell lies to enhance our relationship
Love me like I am!
Together we can conform to our future!

Love me like I am
Don’t try to change me for your benefit
And don’t use your past as a weapon!
If Jesus can love me as I am
Then, so can you and
In return, the same must be expected of me!

Love me like I am!

Hello Mark Frqank, I agree love me as I am. Some couples like to change each other for some reason. It is the wrong thing to do. We must be ourselves. No one can change you only you can change you. Enjoy your day my friend.
