The One Who is Stronger

It can be all too easy.

As the shadows of this world deepen, and light seems harder to find.

I can forget.

That there is One who is stronger.

When the cries of suffering around me and within me rise,

And the questioning in my mind raises its voice.

I can forget.

That there is One who is greater.

When the enemy’s ways seem to prosper all around,

And the wicked lay their plans.

I can lose sight.

That there is One who goes before me.

When my heart and mind and soul,

Are weary within me.

I can forget.

That there is One whose power does not wane.

Jesus, my Lord and Savior.

You are brighter than this darkness,

Greater than this suffering,

Sovereign over all,

And your blood is stronger.

Now and forever.

Until another moment,

Jasmine
