When I Forget Who I Am....He Is....

Gentle as rain and powerful as the wind...That’s who He is. He’s a soft place to land and yet The Rock in which we stand. He’s peaceful like the water trickling over the stones in the creek bed. But he’s fierce and Brave like the Grizzly bear roaming the same woods. He’s tender mercies and raging storms. And yet He’s the calm after every storm...

When I forget who I am....When I fail to be His....He reminds me of who He is...When I can’t get it right He proves me wrong. Holds me up, tells me I’m the daughter of The King and to stop tripping over my crown.


I gather up my failures and lay them at His feet because only He can turn them into little jewels of wisdom. He tells me what I’ve known all along...Sometimes he starts out gentle like the rain, but when I’m being stubborn like a rebellious child He comes raging in like the Grizzly. He’s the definition of unconditional love. He shows parents what loving a child is really like......In the praiseful moments and in the disobedient ones.

He tells every star to shine. Every flower to bloom. Every bee to buzz......But He gives us the choice to LOVE....Because LOVE is not love if your made to.....He wants you to Love because you choose to. And can you just imagine if we all chose to love? Not just in the easy moments....But in the very hard ones.  The ones that make you doubt if you really can. Love when no one else will. Love the cold stone hearts. The dirty faces. The ones on the streets. The unforgivable. The rebellious. Just choose to LOVE.

I don’t deserve this tattered crown place upon my head. My actions are not always equivalent to it’s meaning and yet again He takes this crown time after time....shines it up, places those jewels of wisdom where they need to be and places it upon my head again and again. He. Is. Love. And I am ever so thankful......More than I can ever put into words. And so I adjust my crown and I choose TO LOVE......And in choosing so I become repentfull, obedient, and FORGIVEN.  I. AM. A. CHILD. OF. GOD.
