Guiltless My-My-My
Ps. 31:24Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the LORD.
I'm so thankful the above verse ministered to me yesterdaywhen I needed it desperately!I'm so thankful for the constant remindersthat God will never leave me or forsake me,but He comes to me sometimes through the care and compassion of fellowman,and sometimes through His Word whispered to me!Oh, pray we may seek to hide his Word in our heartsto equip us for whatever today brings
I am so thankful that 'I can do all thingsthrough Christ who strengthens me'Phil.4:13
I was torn between writing in first person 'my'or for every believer 'our'I decided to make it tenderly, vulnerably and joyfully personal but the word 'our' can be easily substituted for 'my' as wellso we can 'rejoice in the Lord' together!
Because God is my help, my strength, the Savior of my soulMy Anchor, my Assurance when grief and dread’s billows rollMy Hope and my Salvation, my kind Comforter and FriendMy Cherished Consolation, my Beginning and my EndMy dear Heavenly Father, my Healer when my heart breaksMy Closer-than-a-brother who never leaves or forsakesMy Light to pierce the darkness and my Wonder-fullest PraiseFor His mercy and goodness that will follow, all my days
My Shepherd, my Defender, my Hunger and my EnoughMy God, both fierce and tender in His everlasting loveMy Courage, my Commander, my Confidence to endureMy Fortress, and my Armor and my Victory secureMy Excellent Creator, my faith’s Steadfast CornerstoneMy Faithful Mediator, my Interpreter of groanMy Heaven-intercession in my earthly-temporalMy Pardon for transgression, Love Incomprehensible
My Author and Perfecter as I walk by faith, not sightMy trustworthy Protector, my Confidante, my delightMy heart’s Ruthless Inspector, ere pride’s ruin masqueradesMy all-knowing Director as each season blooms and fadesMy All-in-all, All-seeing and my All-wise CounselorThe Reason for my being, my Peace in the midst of warMy Holiness, Jehovah, my Shelter, my Resting PlaceMy Glory-hallelujah for His all-sufficient grace
My Yesterday-Today-Tomorrow-and-ForevermoreMy Joy, even in sorrow, my Captain who goes beforeMy Refuge, my Redeemer, my Escort through highs and lowsMy Perfect Plan-frustrater, my Orchestrator of woesMy Greater-He-in-me than he that is in, of this worldHe is my Might, my Majesty, my Eagle Wings unfurledBecause God IS, He sets me free from fear of death and hellBecause of His power in me I can do all things well
