“Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy.” I Peter 1:8 (NIV)
He has numbered each strand of our hair. He created every part of our being and orchestrated every moment of our lives. He has danced with us in the breeze and held us close in the storm. He has felt every pain; He has wiped every tear. He calls us by name and draws our wandering heart from afar. Though our life is just a vapor that is here today and gone tomorrow; God treasures us above all creation. Though we falter in our walk and are unfaithful to His calling, He has caught us each time we have fallen. Even when we demand our own way, God continues to fulfill His purpose in our lives. With the purest knowledge of all that we are and the sin that covers us, He never turns away. He has seen our weaknesses and tendencies to doubt. Yet God has stood beside us with a love beyond our comprehension and helped us to rise again. With the power and might of His voice, He has reached out through the rain and carried us through the raging storm. Planting our feet on higher ground, God has sheltered us under His wings. Because of you – because of me – arms stretched wide and blood ran from His pierced side. In the midst of extreme pain, joy was birthed. God’s love redeemed us, set us free and captured our hearts; we are His forever.
“Father, just one glimpse of your unfailing love draws me in deeper. Help me to radiate that love so others will be drawn to you.”
For His Glory
