Let me tell you this…three years ago my life started to collapse. The bottom dropped out. I never would have imagined what was going to happen would happen– but it did.
I felt absolutely crushed. Hopeless. Where would my future be? I almost quit. I almost gave up. And yet, look at now. I would never have imagined this.
God, You were there. You were in it with me, even though it felt like You had abandoned me.
Lord, You are good to me. I can look back and see Your faithfulness, even when everything that I knew then was washing away. You were holding me tightly when the storm was dark and terrifying.
Lord, You are so, so good. I cried out for help. You heard. You have answered. You lifted my life out of the pit, out of the mud and muck, and You set my feet on solid ground.
I have a story to tell. I have a testimony to give. I have a new song to sing.
I know that many will see this and be amazed at what You, God, have done. You gave me this life. You gave me all of these good things.
And I cannot stop telling everyone how good You are. Today, I am filled with joy and gladness.
Thank You, God. You are so good.
Where are you, while reading this? Are you in a storm? Or, about to face one that you would have never imagined?
Cry out to God! Ask Him for help! He hears you.
He is our helper and salvation.
