  • You are always there

    In the waiting
    In the watching
    When I find myself searching
    For the reasons why
    You are there
    You are everywhere
    In the stillness
    In the quiet
    In the moments of everyday
    In the small details and in the big
    You are there
    You are always there
    In the darkest days of life
    When I cannot see the way ahead
    When I feel hopeless and useless
    And my heart is overwhelmed
    You are there
    You are always there
    Your presence invades
    Your presence sustains
    Your presence surrounds
    Every fabric of my being
    From the depths of the ocean
    To the seashore
    From the highest of mountains
    To the deepest of valleys
    Your love is like a beacon
    It soothes my soul
    You are there
    You are here
    You are near
    You are everywhere
    In the spoken
    In the unseen
    In the beauty of the whole of creation
    You have made me
    To be like you
    To be an image bearer
    To the world around me
    To reflect your glory
    To share the story
    Of the one who died on a cross for me
    You are here
    You are there
    Always the same
    Yesterday, today and forever
    For all of eternity
    You are near
    You are here
    You are always there
    You are everywhere

  • This is a beautiful thing

    “The Lord is good and His steadfast love endures forever”

    No matter what you’re facing in your life today – these words are true. I love the fact that each and every day I am loved and cherished as a daughter of the King. My life is hidden in Christ. Whether I am in the midst of a storm, facing a trial or viewing life from the joy of the mountain top – His steadfast love endures forever.

    This is a beautiful thing.

    Created in His image to reflect His glory and even when I have days were I feel like I am wearing shabby rags in a broken world He is doing a beautiful thing – changing me – to become more like Him. Teaching me more about living in the abundance of His grace under the shadow of His wings. For His steadfast love endures forever.

    This is a beautiful thing.

    Our Heavenly Father is such a good God. He is so good. He delights in us. He is for us and interested in every detail of our lives. His love is steadfast and it endures forever. It will never diminish or fade away.

    His love for us is patient and kind.

    His love for us is unshakable and unbreakable.

    His love for us is an everlasting love.

    It will never run dry.

    In a world where we experience hurt and pain with rejection our Heavenly Father never rejects us. He accepts us as sons and daughters.  He never pushes us away. His arms are always open to embrace us. Even the prodigals are welcome to come back home.

    His love never fails

    His love never gives up.

    His love never makes mistakes.

    His love is a completely perfect love lavished upon an imperfect people.

    His love casts out all fear.

    His love doesn’t envy, it doesn’t boast, it isn’t proud.

    His love keeps no record of wrong.

    His love completes us in every way.

    It satisfies the soul.

    His steadfast love endures forever.

    This is a beautiful thing.
