Some thoughts…

Do you ever feel like you’re going to break

into a million little pieces?

Do you feel that you will simply cease to exist

if someone doesn’t come and rescue you immediately?

Do you ever feel like your sinking so fast and so deep

that you’re sure you’ll never find your way to light again?

Breathing comes with difficulty.

Freedom eludes you.

You have to work simply to keep your heart beating.

Sometimes this is how I feel.

Why am I so lonely?

Why is everything a battle, a struggle, a challenge?

What happened to the easiness with which blessings used to come?

When did things stop working out and when did I become so weak?

When did the Narrow Road become so steep and rocky?

I’m fighting for breath.

I’m screaming for rescue.

I’m aching for freedom.

My King.

My God.

YOU are my breath.

YOU are my rescue.

YOU are my freedom.

To Your Truth I cling as if my life depends on it.

Maybe because it does.

Without Your Truth, I would fall to my death.

Without Your Love, I would succumb to the darkness.

Without Your Promises, I would lose all hope.

But You ARE here for me.

Do you here that, Satan?

My Jesus is HERE with me, He is here FOR me.

He fights for me.

And I rest and I heal.

Because He is in the boat with me, I need not fear.

It doesn’t depend on my actions.

It’s all because of His Grace.

It’s all because of His extravagant, magnificent Love.

I declare even now that even though I feel lost and alone and confused,

that I am FOUND and ADORED and heading for heaven.

“Fear not the enemy of your soul.

He is powerless against the blood and oil that covers you.

I have redeemed you.

I have called you by name.

I surround you in all trials and storms and deserts.

Don’t give up.

Don’t give in.

Put your arms around My waist and we will ride together.

Together we will battle this darkness that surrounds you.

Together we will defeat the depression.

Together we will break through gates of bronze and walls of iron.

For I am your King.

I am your God.

I am you Rescuer.

I am your Deliverer.

I am your Father.

I am your Lover.

I am your Friend.

I am your Champion.

I am your Defender.

And I am in Love with you.

Don’t forget.

Please, Love, don’t forget.

I am in Love with you and I will not let you fall.

Don’t give up.

Don’t give in.

We’re going to win this battle.

And you will come out even lovelier and freer on the other side.”

I Love my King.

I remember Him in the midst of the darkness and realize,

Even the night is as day to Him.

I need not fear, for He is with me.

Hallelujah and Amen.
