I have spent many sleepless nights wondering why it is that You love me. I have cried myself to sleep countless times over mistakes I have made and all the ways I have managed to let You down. Sometimes, in the battle between my spirit and flesh, my flesh gets the worst of me. There are times that I have doubted Your love. Times when I have been so weak I had to rely on You to simply pull me out of bed in the mornings. Times when tears seemed to be the only sense of relief from the pain I was feeling. Times when heartache and disappointment seemed to be the only emotions I could grasp hold of. Times when living and fighting the fight didn’t even seem to be an option anymore. Since I was a little girl, my heart has longed to know You. My mind has questioned and wondered about every aspect of Your being. I have never been able to come anywhere close to wrapping my head around the possibility of You being anything but Sovereign and Good! It amazes me that You know every tiny little piece of information about my mind, body, and spirit. You see my mistakes and yet You still long to spend time with and have a relationship with me. The gift of calling You Father is the greatest blessing I could ever receive. You love me for who I am and see beauty through all of my imperfections. Although at times I have little faith and underestimate Your power and my ability to do all things through You, You have never left my side or given up on me. I am speechless when I think back on every trial You have brought me out of. Every hole I have dug and jumped head first into, only to look up and see You standing at the exit with Your hand reached out to pull me back up. For every storm I have found myself stuck in the middle of, with what seemed like no escape, You have been my shelter. And though You may not calm the storm right away, You teach me to trust You in that moment. You lead me out of every dark tunnel I find myself lost in and supply the stones to defeat every giant I face. You are my Savior, my Rock, my Redeemer. You are my EVERYTHING and without You I am nothing. I am forever Yours. So when I get caught up in the chaos and complications of this world, bring me back to Your arms and remind me of the simplicity of Your love that never fails, never gives up, and never runs out on me.
Your Love Never Fails
