You Were Always There

Abba,

You’ve loved me in your discipline,

cherished me in your scourging,

welcomed me into your heart

through my challenges, struggle, and laying down,

I love your Word which is true,

clear, deep, and right,

showing your blessing and cursing,

your intimate care and involvement,

always moving and working,

when I can see you, and not.

I won’t believe the enemy’s lies anymore,

you have never forsaken me,

you see me, know me, and care

infinitely, above all I can think or comprehend,

you love me,

and you were always there.

Amen.
