The True REAL

I'll tell you, this past few years have put more age in my spiritual life than anything before.

Folks I trusted, betrayed me.
People I loved, left me.
Superiors I obeyed, disappointed me, lied to me, and shunned me.

What a whirlwind.  Truly, the refiner's fire.

Though God remained constant & ever-present.
God, His infinity kept me.
As I let go of so many, I held tighter to my Jesus.

How well I learned to lean.

No matter how far I fell; how disgraced I was; how rejected I felt:
God was even lower.  No, don't you see.  Never could I be lower
than God and his presence.

God has felt All.
God knows Low.

&

God lifts Up.

I am a living Psalm, a today Psalm, a Psalm of Ascent.

Oh, I lift my eyes to the Lord
from where does my help come?  (Ps. 121)

Those are living words and I live them and am a part of them
and was created by them to glorify Him forever.

And, forevermore.
