"God said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.''" Exodus 3:14
Why do you fear?
I AM with you.
Why do you doubt
when I have already walked the road before you?
Why do you seek and seek and seek?
You have found me over and over and over again.
And still you seek.
Why do you close your ears to the truth
allowing doubt to rule your heart?
Why do you reject beauty?
Displace gratitude?
Forget forgiveness?
Accost mercy?
Defame grace?
Why do you hold yourself to the flame
crying out in anguish?
Why is pain your bedfellow?
Why do you pursue brokenness?
I AM wholeness.
I AM healing.
I AM relief.
I AM grace and mercy and forgiveness.
Why do you hide in the darkness?
Why do you allow it to swallow you up?
Why do you surrender to the enemy
without putting up a fight?
You are my image bearer.
You are my child,
the apple of my eye.
You have been carved in the palms of my hands.
I hear your plea.
I hear your cry.
I see you when your eyes are closed to me.
I AM with you and I AM for you and I will never forget about you.
How could I?
I have given it all for you.
And I would do it again.
All of it.
Because you are worth it.
You are worthy.
You are loved.
You are mine.
