After all that we have been through
I still choose You
All the heartbreak and pain
You’ve been by my side
You’ve never changed
You never used me
You always loved me
You have guided me
You have protected me
When I was broken
You stayed with me
You watched me heal
You anointed me
You love me
You love me
Although I have been broken
Although I have been disappointed
Although I have been lied to and picked on
Although I made the wrong choices for the “right” reasons
Although I sacrificed myself to love others
You never left me
Across galaxies, dimensions, and circumstances
Even over my fears and ignorance
You never left me
You carried me when I could not walk
When I was unconscious You watched over me
And still…
Despite all I have been through
I still choose YOU
I don’t understand as You do
I have no plans for You
I don’t second guess You
I have learned that I never made an error when I chose to adore You
ELOHIM
I don’t criticize You
Because in all I have been through
YOU were right there too.
That’s why I have forever chosen YOU.


One night I dreamed a dream.
As I was walking along the beach with my Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
One belonging to me and one to my Lord.
After the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that at many times along the path of my life,
especially at the very lowest and saddest times,
there was only one set of footprints.
This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it.
“Lord, you said once I decided to follow you,
You’d walk with me all the way.
But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I don’t understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me.”
He whispered, “My precious child, I love you and will never leave you
Never, ever, during your trials and testings.
When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you.”
