 The Gift
 
 
 
   
 
 There is a gift for us
 in each relationship that comes our way.
 
 
 
 Sometimes the gift is a behavior
 we're learning to acquire:
 detachment, self-esteem,
 becoming confident enough to set a boundary,
 or owning our power in another way.
 Some relationships trigger
 healing in us--healing from issues
 of the past or an issue we're facing today.
 
 
 
 
   
 
 Sometimes we find ourselves learning
 the most important lessons from the people
 we least expect to help us.
 Relationships may teach us about
 loving ourselves or someone else.
 Or maybe we'll learn to let others love us.
 
 
 
 
   
 
 Sometimes, we aren't certain
 what lesson we're learning,
 especially while we're in the midst
 of the process.
 But we can trust that the lesson
 and the gift are there.
 We don't have to control this process.
 We'll understand, when it's time.
 We can also trust that the gift
 is precisely what we need.
 
 
 
 
   
 
 Today, I'll be grateful
 for all my relationships.
 I will open myself to the lesson
 and the gift from each person in my life.
 I will trust that I, too,
 am a gift in other people's lives.
