Something from MY Real Journey

My prayer has always been to know you more and be much more closer to you my Father God. So, I should not be surprised then, when on this journey, you lead me to the dry desert, or the valley of tears (Baca) , or the place of crippling pain. For it is in such places as these, that you give me the opportunity and privilege of seeing and experiencing all that you are to me and all that you do for me and all that you have made available to me. After all, how else do I experience you as my provider unless I am in a situation where I need you to provide for me? How else do I experience you as my shelter, my fortress, my God in who I trust unless I am in the midst of some battle or crisis when I need your protection? How else do I experience your peace that passes all understanding unless I am in turmoil and in great need of your peace in the storm? Father God, all the pain, tears, battles, fears, crisis, tragedies, sorrows, heart aches, weakness, depression, poverty, loss and other situations, have led me to your heart for me. There you revealed more of yourself to me and more of your priceless wonders of your heart and love and grace for me and of your priceless gems of your provision and promises that you have made available to me. For all of this, I thank you Father God with all my heart and I love you......

In my darkness I saw you light so bright.

In my weakness, you made me, in your strength, so strong,

Then you enabled me to carry on.

In my battles you were my shield and protector,

Then you made me more then a conqueror

And then together we won the fight.

In my pain you were right there right by my side,

And with your hand on my heart every time I cried

You caused all hurt and sorrows to depart,

Making the way clear for your healing to start.

Then your healing began and its still going on

And with your hand on my heart, I'm singing a greater song!

I'm singing a greater song than ever before!

And its all about you and all you are and all you do!

This song comes from deep within, sometimes its spoken, sometimes its silent, sometimes its expressed with brush or pen.

Sometimes I cant express how I feel about you,

So I stand in awe of you in silence again,

And seek to know you more and more.......and more

Thank you Father God
