Who you were to me

I did think 2017 was a terrible year!

Then you opened my eyes and you showed

me how
In my sickness, you were my "Healer"
In my weakness, you were my "Strength"
In my losses, you were my "Restorer"
In my needs, you were my "Provider"
In my sadness, you were my "Joy"
In my battles, you were my "Victory"
In my faithlessness, you were "Faithful"
In my fear, you were my "Courage"
In my shame, you were my "Banner"
In my confusion, you were my "Clarity"
In every attack, you were my "Shield"
In every accusation, you were my "defender"
You gave me "Priceless" for worthless
"Rest" for weariness
"Peace" for trouble
"Freedom" fo chains and
"Beauty" for ashes

Father, Shepherd, Listener, "Author and Finisher" of my faith, "beginning and the end", Friend, Driver, Lead, Covering, "Lifter up" of my head "buckler", Redeemer, Merciful, Savior, Master planner, way maker, Unlimited!!!

I am grateful that who you WERE is who you ARE and who you WILL ALWAYS BE.
