As I sit here thinking on my last year. With two weeks left of this journey. Thinking of what has felt like walking through the wilderness. I think on the faithfulness of God. Times where I felt like I was beaten to ground and couldn’t get back up….I would hear Him say “come on baby girl I’m here. I haven’t left you. Let’s get up and go again.” Times where I have felt like the pain would never stop, He was there holding my hand, never letting go. The days I felt less than a daughter He was there straightening the crown on my head.
This year hasn’t been an easy one. It hasn’t been some grand vacation. It hasn’t been this time of escaping reality to find myself. I’ll tell you what it has been. It has been a time of healing. A time of letting go. A time of knowing God so much deeper than what I have always been taught. A time of discovering who I am because of who He is in me. No it hasn’t been easy. It has felt like walking through the refining fire. But it has been worth every single moment.
My Jesus has loved me in the midst of my mess. In the midst of my self doubt. In the middle of my fear. My Jesus has NEVER left me. There hasn’t been one minute that He hasn’t been by my side. He has been right there to pick me up, hold me close to His chest, and let me hear His heart beat for me. No my Jesus hasn’t given up on me and He never will. He is with me from here into eternity.
This has been my walk with Him. This is my testimony of His character….He is WITH me!! He is faithful always and forever! This is what my walk with Him and my Race has been all about! His faithfulness!
So to You my God! Thank You for who You are. Never changing. Always present. Always faithful. You have been with me and always will be. You are good. You are wonderful. You are awesome. You are the Great I AM. You are the Almighty God. You are above all. You are my King. You are my Father. You are my
simplicity. You are my heartbeat. You are the very breath I breathe. You…Jesus…are my everything. I will shout Your goodness from the rooftops. I will sing of Your glory forever. I love You Daddy God! Thank you for never leaving nor forsaking me! In Your Holy, Sweet, Mighty, and Precious name Abba….Amen!
“But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I give Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in exchange for you. Because you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you, I give men in return for you, peoples in exchange for your life. Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, and from the west I will gather you.”
??Isaiah? ?43:1-5? ?
