Week of Thankful 4.3
Of all my thankful posts throughout the years, and through each Thanksgiving week, this day's has to be my very favorite to write. While my thankfuls are hardly about me, but about looking outside of me to things God has blessed me with, there is still on some level of self involved. This day's thankfuls are ALL about Who God is and taking time to focus on that and have gratitude for who God is is a moment of humbling, a bowing before Him in Worship. This thankful post is perhaps my most worshipful of all for that reason alone. Today, I'm writing about who God has shown me of Himself this year....

Today, I'm Thankful for Who God is....
He is....
...never going to fail
...the author of life
...peace when the seas are raging
...light in darkest hours
...joy when sadness overwhelms
...sufficient when everyone lets you down
...more than the air that you breathe
...hope in times when nothing seems right
...direction when the path seems dim
...strength when you falter
...the hand that holds yours when everyone abandons you
...the only friend who will never walk away
...kindness towards a weary and sore heart
...the one who holds all things together
...right beside you when you weep, laugh, hope, dream and fail
...provider to every need and sometimes your wants too.
...the one who loves you more than His own life
...who says "it's ok to not be ok" and doesn't condemn you for a bad day (or week)
...grace for failure, for weakness, for faltering faith, for hopeless times.
...the source of faith that we need to keep trodding along
...the Word when you cannot find a word to speak on your own
...constant in a world of ever-changing people and circumstances
...a refuge in times of deep trouble
...the renewer of dreams, hope, love, and life.
...able to do more than we can hope for, think of, ask for or imagine.
...completely, wholly, unabashedly unique
...healer to the most damaged places and wounds in your heart.
...holder of all of your tears and cries
...the one who hears you and every prayer, cry and heart-sore spot that cannot find words
...one who intercedes for you.
...a better story writer than any author ever.
...the pursuer of his beloved children.
...safe when everyone around you batters your heart
...breathe in dead spaces
...unending love to a heart wracked by rejection
...mercy sufficient for the day ahead.
...the source of all good things in life...and ultimately the source of all things.
...faithful until the end of time and beyond.
...will be there for you always...never failing, never faltering...
...magnificent in a world of normal
...accepting of us on every level - even the icky stuff - and changes those things
...never going to let go of you.
...the one who will come through for you every. single. time.
...a god who keeps his promises
...the savior of the world - because he loves, not because of anything we do.
...the door-busting-down kind of rescuer when we need doors broken open.
...with you when things are simply too much to handle.
...the beginning and end of all things
...source of life -- and not just oxygen that you breathe but LIFE that means living.
...enough when nothing seems to go right
...got everything in hand when things fall apart, or seem completely upended
...everything...
...well, he just is....
