God is my Warrior, the Lord fights on my behalf. The strongholds that I can't see in my life crumble before His mighty power. He will not let me perish, He will hold me up in the days of trouble. He lifts me up, though sin would attempt to hold me down. He sees me as His precious daughter, He treasures me more than I could ever understand. He does not forget me, and He will never let me fight despair by myself. He is my defense. He does not 'run' to my aid, for He never left my side. He does not lose sight of me. He strikes down every weapon, every stronghold, and ever fear. He sets me free from the bondages of this world.
God is my Shepherd. When I stray far He calls my name, He guides me back, He leads me. When I have no idea how lost I am, He comes after me. When I'm too dumb to see the predators of life, He pursues me to protect me. When I'm in a place of starvation, He calls me back to His feast of fellowship. When I forget how delightful our relationship is He takes away the things I let distract me- He makes me remember that He is all the fulfills me. When I feel like I'm in a place of utter aloneness, He holds me tight. When I think that all is for naught, He reminds me of His great plans for me and tells me to trust and follow Him.
God is my Love. Love is not something I posses naturally, it's something I've been given from God to share with others. Love of this world is dirty, Love of the Holy One is pure. Love is His nature, nothing apart from Him can have love in it. Love in the world comes from God, if it isn't from God it isn't really love. Love from my Creator is what gets me through life; Love from my Abba is all that I can rely on.
God is my Rock. The world is ever changing, always frightening, never stable, consistently intimidating- but God is who He always has been and always will be. Whatever this life throws at me, God is who He always has been and always will be. Whoever comes into my life, whoever leaves my life, God is who He always has been and always will be. No matter what I do or how I fail, God is who He always has been and always will be. Despite what the world tries to sell me, God is who He always has been and always will be. Always, eternal, never ending, never changing, the perfect foundation, the only absolute, beginning and end, was, is, and is to come- God is who He always has been and always will be.
