You Are

Inspiration can hit you in the strangest of places. Tonight while at work I was reflecting on what I have been reading by Moltmann and the sermon my pastor gave about pain, and this came about.

In my times of joy
you are there.
In my times of deepest depression
you are there.
In my good times
you are there.
In my most painful moments
you are there.
You rejoice with me.
You join me in my suffering.
When I lost my identity
I found it in you.
In the cross.
The place of rejection
the place of pain
the place of abandonment
the place of forgiveness
the place of new life
the place of True Identity.
You are not a passive God.
You are a God who participates in our journey and relationship with you.
You are not a God who sits in judgment.
You are a God of grace and mercy.
You are a God of love.
You are Love.
You are I AM.
