THE LIGHT AWAKENED

The waves crash all around, but I am at peace. 

The peace of God is in me 

and The God of peace surrounds me with watchful eyes, 

not allowing the enemy to infect what is no longer his.

I'm a new creation.

My debt has been paid in full.

Grace is showering down upon me.

God's presence dwells within, 

and I can now stand firmly fixated on The One, My Savior,

who rescued me from darkness and death.

He has cleansed my blood stained soul, 

and healed the holes torn in the depths of my soul.

He has pursed me with His unfailing love,

and fervent vision, and held me close when I wanted to flee.

He has raised me up for such a time as this.

He calls me His precious child, no longer one who belongs to His wrath.

He is The Redeemer and has blessed me with open arms and a safe place my head and sit a while.

What words can I say beyond "Thank You?"

What actions can I show my Savior in appreciation?

Lord, what do You want from me?

"Remember Me," He says and "love others through My resurrecting power."

With a majestic voice He bellows "I have no regrets!"

He pulls me close and gently whispers in my ear "I would do it all again to make you My own."

Friends, this is Who has saved us.

This is Who is fighting for us.

We are not alone.

Remember who you are and Who you belong to.

You are children of The Almighty God.

You are chosen, not forsaken.

You are loved for all eternity.
