A new Covenant

So many things have happened in the past few weeks; I have faced so many challenges and the devil almost had me where he wanted to place me. But little did He know that the Lord was on my side; even at times when I lost all hope and forgot all about my faith, I somehow still had the strength to make it through-how great is the Lord?
One of the biggest challenges was when my relationship with someone who had been my best friend for more than a decade told me what I had to offer as a friend was not good enough- it was hard, I felt it was a blow below the belt because in my eyes I had given the relationship the best I could give.
The Lord never left me though, for I still heard the still small voice from afar; the voice that whispered sweet words of courage and promises in my ear. The Lord never left my side, nor did He take away His promises; but I once more allowed humanity to take control over divinity. I was so troubled and worried, my faith was clouded by doubt. But my father’s grace was always upon me, His promises still held true and His word never changed.
I love the Lord, and I have made a covenant with Him again. My heart is willing, and I place my hope and faith at His feet. I ask of Him to guide me, to keep me strong. To shelter me with His love and instil in me the character of Christ and the seed of Spiritual growth. I know He never left me, and I return to Him to have Him fill my cup once more.
