All Along

I never thought it would be this hard to grow up, to define my character like He wanted for me all along.

I never thought it would be this rewarding, to experience the joy that He had planned for me all along.

I never thought my life would take such a drastic turn downhill even though He knew about that all along.

I never thought I could truly believe I could climb that impossible-looking mountain that He had mapped out for me all along.

I never thought I’d cry as much even though He planned rivers of flowing water for me all along.

I never thought I could experience the kind of laughter that only comes after you’ve suffered a long time but He laughed with me all along.

I never thought I could be sustained by a love that isn’t seen but He knew how to draw me out all along.

I never thought I could experience all of Him and really see Him with eyes wide open but His plan was to show that to me all along.

I never thought I’d know the kind of hurt that only comes from seeing the whole truth, hidden under a veil of lies but He was determined to reveal it to me all along.

I never thought I could heal and forgive even after the truth was uncovered, but He held my hand all along.

I never knew, but God knew all along.

    I never could have thought where my faith walk would take me & I have no clue where I will go. Only He knows. Nice words to remind us all.
