Faithful Love

“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” – Lamentations 3:22-23

El Roi,

Your love is refreshing like the morning dew in fall, its beauty calms my soul and makes me reflect on You, nothing else, just my Father and your all-consuming love for me. In the majestic mountains I see your glory and majesty, who am I that you would see me El Roi? When I see the vastness of the ocean touch the glowing sunset sky, I’m humbled to be called your daughter, how sweet it is to be loved by You.

But our love didn’t start like this, it was messy at best, and hard to trust. I was told you were a loving God, but I figured it was a cliché saying, I mean, who loves like this? And then time past . . . and year after year, your love and consistency broke down my walls, melted my heart, and stole my soul – I’m Home. 

You adopted me; your daughter of trauma, with wounds so deep, shame so thick, and guilt so crippling, and still, You call me YOUR OWN!

With each new morning, my trust and faith in you grew like a beautiful field of aromatic lavender flowers, blooming, and swaying in the breeze, oh how I love you, Lord. You removed my mask, destroyed my fortress and broke the chains that kept me bound, aww, Freedom, Thank You! 

You are who you say you are, the Great I AM, there is no one like You, Great is Your Faithfulness. As I look to the heavens, may I forever sing your praise and tell the world of your goodness and unfailing love, to the King that stole my heart and gave me a new one, I Love You!
