Thank God
That I am where I am right now, with clothes on my back, food in my tummy, and water too. Not to mention a roof over my head, air-conditioning, an internet connection, linguistic ability, hands to type with, breadth in my lungs. Despite how torn I feel right about now. That I have friends who remember me even when I am not with them, who care even in ways that rub me up the wrong way. That they would waste one SMS to tell me something they did not know I would rather not know. That I have parents, and they are still together and alive despite everything. That I am able to come before Him in all my wretchedness and sin and tears and heartbreak and spill it all out to Him, because He is my best best friend. That He is also my Lord and my Saviour, lover and keeper of my soul. That I have a best friend on this earth in a fellow human being and sister in Christ. That she cares even when I don't feel like telling her what's eating at me. That He sent Jesus to die for me on the cross, to endure the world's greatest pain because He loves us. That He loves me in all my imperfection unconditionally. That He is God. |
