You saw my mistakes, You watched my heartbreak…Heard when I swore I’d never love again. But when I was weak, unable to speak, still I could call You by name. And I said: “Heartache Healer…Secret Keeper, Be my best friend.” And You said, “I Am.”

 

There are stages in each of our lives where we see God in different ways. Suddenly our views of the Superhero who comes in and fixes every bruise and dries every tear, becomes the One who lifts us up and hold us tight when our hearts are breaking in pieces around us and we feel everyone is against us. As we age into adults He becomes the One who guides us through the hard decisions of future plans and  marriage. Our Constant throughout every moment in life. How quickly we forget to see Him sometimes. And yet He is there, watching as we grow into the people whom were given free will and given life, given breath. Our Life-Sustainer. Oh what praises my heart sings…to think He made me and gave me breath. Almighty God I see glimpses of You…but I will never fully understand the mystery or power of who You are. And isn’t that truly beautiful? That You are always the one who is God. That You are Beginning…and End. Even before I had a beginning, and after I perish. You are God.

 

I was listening to a song “I Am” by Nichole Nordeman. This song spoke volumes to my heart. For in life I have felt God’s hand in my times of valleys and mountains. Twenty years and counting my Savior has shown His mercy and love each and every breath. I am a living testimony of His existence–A life which God has made. A being beautifully and wonderfully created, as are each of you who read this. It may seem that God can sometimes be cruel or that He is distant…A God far and believed in by few. But I assure you, our God is ever-present, and Love itself. He is living in the body of Christ, of whom I am a part of, and I pray you are as well. When you feel so alone…feel as if there is nothing to support you in times of trial, or in times of unbelievable and difficult circumstances: He is here, and as the body of Christ–We are here too. You are never alone. Don’t hesitate to reach for what is always there. God loves and wishes to support you. I know that the lies of the world..the countless worries that pile on rip at the seams of our hearts..Yet remeber He told you His burden is light…don’t ever forget that. Lay your burdens at the foot of God, and remember Calvary. The ripping of that curtain–Oh the power of God. Only He could give His Son. What innocence was killed at the cost of our shame and sin…for the Love of He who woven and spun us into life.

 

“Don’t look at His precious gift of freedom and communication in vain. Hold your hands open children of God, and let His love rain down on your thirsty and dry hearts.”  

My precious sisters in Christ…this one is for you. I adore you. You are such a precious gift to this world, and have so much that you go through. I know the depth of what emotions you feel…of how the smallest of things to others become the shrapnel buried in the heat of life’s battles. The world is not kind, and people are not always kind either. The burden of heartbreak from lost relationships, broken bridges and the fears of being inadequate and small. I wish I could hold you all close. It may seem silly to say, but my heart pours out to each of you. I don’t know you, and yet I feel I do. I will never meet every woman on this earth, or be the answer to someone’s prayer…but God is  the One whom sees each of you out there. He sees and hears every prayer. And He is The Comforter, The Redeemer and The Father. Whether He chooses to use me, that I don’t know and can’t take upon myself unless called…but I do know He is there for you. If you call, He will answer. He is already there. He is your God. And Oh…How He loves you. Reach out and call your precious Savior!!!! Don’t hesitate–Don’t ignore His calling. Please…for the Love of God, accept it and understand…

 

He is the Great I Am.

 

In Love,
