....BUT Jesus!! :-)

I was abandoned BUT He stayed with me,

I was betrayed BUT He never forsook me

I was abused BUT He cared for me

I was rejected BUT He accepted me

I was falsely accused BUT He vindicated me

I was destroyed BUT He redeemed me 

I was destitute BUT He provided for me

I was mocked BUT He sang over me

I was despised BUT He chose me

I was hated BUT He loved me

I was tormented BUT He rescued me

I was broken BUT He healed me

I was lost BUT He found me

I was beaten down BUT He set my feet upon a rock

I was bound BUT He freed me

I was distraught BUT He gave me peace

I was trodden on BUT He made me victorious 

I was alone BUT He was with me

I was isolated BUT He stood beside me

I was at rock bottom BUT He lifted me up

I was disgraced BUT He honoured me

I was helpless BUT He helped me

I was attacked BUT He surrounded me

I was shamed BUT He did not put me to shame

I was wounded BUT He fought for me

I was humiliated BUT He held me

I was wronged BUT He defended me

I was ridiculed BUT He covered me

I was fearful BUT He gave me faith

I was in trouble BUT He was my fortress

I was stolen from BUT He restored me

I was heart broken BUT He made me whole

I was devastated BUT He caused me to triumph

I was crushed BUT He saved me

I was scared BUT He protected me

I was stabbed in the back BUT He always had my back

 

No power of hell or scheme of man can EVER pluck me from His hand. The devil is defeated, he is a liar. My God is not dead, He is alive, He's roaring like a lion and living on the inside of me. He has conquered the grave. I can sing, dance and smile because my God is bigger than any trial I face, He is greater than any pain I endure, He is stronger than any man who tries to harm me, He is for me when others seek to destroy me. He is the God of justice, freedom, mercy and grace. He has rescued me from the dangerous wiles of the enemy. He has resurrected the dead places in my life, restored and redeemed me. He is alive. He is with me and I can live life to the absolute fullest because He loves me, He came, He died and He rose again. I am an overcomer in Him. And my eternal destiny is secured. May my life bring Him Glory, always!
