Living Hope

Sometimes I just sit and write what comes to my heart. This is from that time with God today. I wanted to share this one…

You are my living hope.

When everything around me is shaken,

You are my firm foundation.

You will never be shaken. You are the only One who is unshakable, unbreakable and unchanging.

You are the thread I hold onto when life is shattered around me and all the broken pieces are scattered. You hold my heart. You bring me back together. You show me who I am. You say I am yours. When it feels like I can’t breathe, you give me breath once again. When it feels like my heart is glass and all the pieces are jagged and scattered, you put them back together. You hold my world in your hands and never let me go. My only hope. My only firm foundation. The Lover of my soul. You are the breath in the wind that whispers my name. You called me from birth, you laid out my story. You weave a beautiful tapestry of my life. From beginning to end your handprints are there. Every moment holding me up and protecting me. How can I ever doubt you? But even in the doubts you love me still. You pour your love on me like a healing balm. It washes every broken piece of me and makes me whole. You are my Rock. My strong tower. The place I ran to when I am afraid. You are the shadow that hovers over me. My heart and soul cry out to you. Jesus, lover of my soul, it is you. Your blood runs red for me. It washes away the shame and makes me white as snow. You stretched out your arms for me. You laid down your life for me. No greater love have I than this. Jesus, You are my living hope.
