NEVER FORGET

May I never forget the earthly pain, the anguish, the sleepless nights, the abandonment, the accusations, the loss of a partner and lover

May I never forget the darkness of the lies, deceit and manipulation

May I never forget the stress, the questions of my integrity

May I never forget the fear of being alone

May I never forget the pain of deceit and deception

As deep as our love was, the pain was even deeper

May I never forget your presence in my friends who told me “the battle was the Lords”

May I never forget your words, “Trust in Me” and “Follow Me”

May I never forget “Your Word”, your love, your comfort

May I never forget the pain of the cross you carried for me

May I never forget your vulnerability to hurt when I hurt

May I never forget how you lifted me out of the darkness and into the light of “Your Love”

May I never forget your call for me to be kind and compassionate

May I never forget your warning that I am not on this earth to judge or carry a grudge

I will never forget that you did not abandon me but lifted me up into your presence

May I never forget your steadfast love and your guiding word

May I never forget how my circumstances strengthened me, brought me a new life with a changed heart, a refreshed mind and an energized body dedication to my Savior

May I never forget how you turned my tears of pain into tears of joy

May I never forget the folly of following the world, trusting in a person rather than the almighty and present God

May I never forget that you hurt when I hurt and that you rose above your sufferings and as a risen God you have raised me above my sufferings.

May I never forget the experience of your victorious spiritual battle

May I never forget that I am “ordinary” man of an extraordinary God.
