So constant, faithful, reliable, and unceasing! Your mighty hands uphold me FOREVER! Your strength is unmistakable; it’s perfection always uncovered in my devastating weaknesses. Though I wish I could show You the strong person that others see at times; You see past it all! No masks, facade, or coverings. And even still, there You are; my constant, faithful, reliable, and unceasing friend and Savior! In my frailty, Your glory shines through!

shhh . . .

Your loves quiets the ramblings of my heart.

I sit in Your presence listening . . . listening . . . listening.

Then I begin to hear it; it’s You—bursting forth in song!

A voice and song like none other; a song of rejoicing . . . a song about ME?!

I’m not sure why You take such delight in me, but if for this very reason alone, I will delight in my weaknesses, in the insults, the hardships, in the persecutions, and the difficulties, knowing that in these moments I sense Your most perfect strength, and I know that You are with me. I feel Your love that quiets me, and I hear Your song over me! I’m not JUST loved; I’m enjoyed and delighted in!

YOU ARE AMAZING!

“But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me” (2 Corinthians 12:9-10).

“The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing” (Zephaniah 3:17).
