Grace has Found me: Just as I am I found my identity in Christ. Before Him – Nothing – No-one – Lost – Confused – Hopeless. Life evolved. Changes came. I found my identity in my family. Husband – Children – Satisfied – Busy – Fulfilled. Changes came, as life evolved. I found my identity in my job. Helping people – Busy work – Challenging endeavors – Successful – Pleased. Inequalities came. Disappointments followed. I found my identity in trying to rise above the injustices. Rise above the anger and hurt – Rise above the disappointment – Finding myself unemployed – Seemingly unemployable. Disappointments followed the Inequalities that came. I found my identity in my losses. In rejections and perceived failures – Frustration – Insecurities – Self-doubt and despair. |
Revelation enlightened. Grace abounded. I found my identity in knowing that I am a child of the King. Loved – Valued – Cherished – Never forgotten – Never forsaken. Grace abounded as Revelation enlightened. I found my identity in Christ. The same – Yesterday – Today – And Forever. And as I lean in close to Him – I see that nothing has ever changed. Psalms 116:1-7 KJV Paraphrased I love the Lord, because he has heard my voice and my supplications. Because he has inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell got a hold of me: I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I upon the name of the Lord; O Lord, I beseech you, deliver my soul. Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. The Lord preserves the simple: I was brought low, and he helped |
me. Return unto your rest, O my soul; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you. Joyful Noiz Ministries © 2013 |
