It's Always Been You!


When the wind and waves come crashing over me - it is you that holds me tight. When life feels unfair - it is you that humbles me to see what you have done for me and remind me that there is so much more that I cannot see how you are working in my life. In my highs and lows, it is you that is that is with me along the way guiding me through it all. When tragedy strikes - it is only you that remains steadfast throughout every season. What more could I even ask for when it is you that has given me all that I ever needed in you! It was you the whole time, even the darkest times, when the struggles of life come and go. It was always you, even when I couldn't see it clearly. My flesh can call this absurd - but I can be sure of one thing and one thing only: God has never left my side! Doesn't matter what I have been through or what I have done; God never left! He has always loved me the minute he formed me in my mother's womb! A love like this I can hardly explain because it is beyond what I can even comprehend. In the highs and lows, on the mountaintops and in the valleys deep, through the thick and thin; it's always been you that sticks closer than a brother. For everything that you have done for me; the praises shall be endless! Thank you for all that you have done for me from the moment of conception till the day I die or when you take me home! Praise be to the Lord Almighty! Soli Deo Gloria!!

Just tryna' write poetry that always glorifies God and who He is, what he has done for me, and what He can and will do for you! If God can transform my life, I know without a doubt he can transform yours too! You are NEVER too far gone, or broken for God! Come to Jesus just as you are and give your life to him and watch the change happen when you turn to Jesus and live for Him!! Being a Christian is never easy, just as life isn't easy, but our only hope is in Jesus Christ the one and only!!
