Even

Even when the world I knew
Crumbles before my very feet,
And the skies above rain down
Nothing but Death and Deceit,

Even when the ones I love
Break my very heart,
And attempt to tear
The remnants of my mind apart,

Even when my enemies have come
To devour my very skin,
And the odds are stacked against me
So that I could never win,

Even when the Darkness
Threatens to corrupt my very soul,
And says that under it’s will
The forces of Light will bend and fold,

Jesus,
I’ll still call You Lord.

No matter what my enemies or the world throw against me, through anything and everything, nothing will change the fact that Jesus Christ is sovereign over all things in Heaven and Earth. Nothing will change the fact that He is my Saviour and He is my Lord.

I aim to share my thoughts, feelings and experiences through the written word with anyone and everyone who is willing to listen. I have walked through the Valley of the Shadow of Death and by the grace of God I have survived to tell the tale. This is my story. I hope you enjoy it. God bless you all.

    No, nothing can or ever will change this and that is why we can take rest in Him! Wonderful!

  • Nothing at all. =) Jesus is bigger, stronger, greater than everything we’ve ever known and all the things our human minds and eyes cannot see or know. Jesus Christ is sovereign over all things. And He has already won! Thank you very much viv! God bless you and peace be with you! =)

    Fabulous description. The truth is all there and I commend you for standing up and being counted. Wonderful poetic words.

  • Thank you so much! I’m glad that you enjoyed this! =) There truly is nothing in all creation that could diminish these facts. Jesus Christ is not only sovereign over all things in Heaven and Earth, He saw our fate to be clothed in sin and decided that we were to be predestined to be holy and blameless in His eyes before the foundation of the world. He has love and kindness, grace and mercy that pour infinitely out of Him for the entirety of His children. I don’t even know, it’s all just mind boggling. Jesus and everything He is, everything He does for us, it’s just mind blowing. Peace be with you and God bless!

    God bless you too, and I know that He has this promise for you
    ‘For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’

  • Thank you so much sarnia, indeed, that verse speaks directly into my life. =) I appreciate your time and prayer and words guided by the Holy Spirit. May The Lord watch over you and protect you all the days of your life and may you dwell in the House of The Lord forever.
