Deuteronomy 31:6 – “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Hebrews 13:5b – “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Today, for some reason, I feel led to offer this poem that I wrote back in 2005.  I had just been diagnosed with parathyroid cancer, and although I believed that God was not through with me, I had a battle with the enemy who tried to steal my faith and my joy. 

God helped me to fight through that.   He used the Word, family, friends, and a wife that would not let me doubt.   I was healed, and even the surgeon said, “This was not something I did, or you did, but God did.  It is a miracle!”

We all face choices every day, and the fruit of those choices shapes our lives.   I desire always to make the right choices and rejoice in all that God is, has done, is doing, and will do.   We are more than conquerors through Jesus; I am determined to live like that.

I hope that this poem ministers to, inspires, and encourages you!

I pray that the Lord will deposit the reality that even in our Darkest Hours, He is Always There!   He is faithful.  

Rejoice in Jesus and enjoy His presence today and every day!
