Agape

Yesterday, I thought about my past, present, and future.
God has blessed me with His grace and mercy.
His love surpasses my understanding!
He’s better to me than I am to myself.
When everyone else has forgotten about me, He’s always there.
So, in all actuality, I’m never alone-
No matter where I may be in life; up, down, or in between.
Though the Devil tries to disrupt my life like a tempest to a calm, sunny day,
God’s power and plans for me are stronger than his desire to see me fail.
Instead, I’ll be successful beyond belief!
My cup continues to run over, even when I see the fallen one’s shadow lurking in the light of day.
God’s bountiful harvest is on its way!
As sure as His crimson blood flowed from His body and watered the ground, He covers me from coast to coast and shore to shore!
My eyes get misty everytime I think of His goodness and what He’s done for me...
I kneel to His throne.
All praises be to the Lord, my God, who rests in Heaven and watches over me.
