In Praise of the One Who Is Truly Perfect...

Recently, one of my heart sisters shared with me that after a long, dark valley, she was inspired anew by the comforting attributes of Jesus...

He is:

a Lover

a Friend who sticks closer than a brother

a Healer

a Warrior

the Daystar that shines in our hearts

 

He will never leave us or forsake us. With that kind of assurance, we can be assured that our lives truly are in the palms of His hands and that we will never be left or forsaken by the One who never changes.

 

Today I heard this song as I was doing dishes, and I thought of my very dear friend (who I wish lived across the fields from me instead of 240 miles away!) and was blessed all over again as I reflected on the many, many ways my Savior is trustworthy and unchanging. He has always been and forever shall be...

 

The Great I AM

 

 

 

Mighty God

 

You have the heart of a lover,
Closer even than a brother
Oh and the arms of a warrior,
Who will never flee the fight
And You have the hands of a healer,
Where my pain is, where my need is
Oh and the eyes of a righteous judge
Where the darkness is always light.

This is the mighty God that I adore
An ever faithful, never changing friend
Whose love is mine to know for evermore
Whose promises will never be forsaken.

I feel Your arms warm and comforting
When the child in me is hurting
And I see Your hand, gently guiding,
In the midst of every storm
I feel Your breath breathe within me,
With a power and a strength to fill me
Your presence so close, all around me,
Protecting me from harm.
