The times over my times!... history detailed that it happened!... I’ve lost some good friends along life’s way!... love ones departed in heaven to stay!... church members and co-workers left and are deeply missed!... I’ve lost faith in people who said they cared!... but in my of my crisis they were never there!... this is my point!... in my time of disappointment!... in my season of shame!... one thing never wavered or changed!... this is my praise!... I didn’t lose everything!... I never lost my hope!... I even questioned my faith!... but most of all!... I never lost my praise!... my praise is still here!... some blessings slipped away!... my focus was skewed and I went astray!... I thanked God that I didn’t lose everything!... I’ve lost possessions that were dear!... lost some battles by walking in fear!... I have thrown my hands up in the midst of my struggle in my season of pain!... Still there’s one thing never changed!... not even wavered!... I never lost my praise!... I never lost my hope or my faith!... again!... most of all!... I never lost my praise!... the darkness I had to walk through by myself!... the rain that poured over every step I took!... there was darkness and I had to wait on the light!... I kept my praise in front of me!... I knew my hope was on the way!... so!... I praise our God Almighty in advance!... for He’s my light in the darkness!... my hope in sorrow!... and joy for my tomorrow!... I never lost my praise!... possessions taken away!... promises still waiting and I still look for the joy in the dark days!... and my rain hasn’t stopped!... And still!... I never lost my hope!... I never lost my joy!... and most of all!... I never lost my praise!... even now!... when I’m kicked with disappointments!... or pushed with bad news!... I give God praise!... I spread my arms wide!... saying thank U Jesus!... for keeping me alive!... giving me hope!... and joy!... for this is how I survive!... He’s faithful!... He’s true!... my Joy in sadness!... hope for my tomorrow!... in my darkest hour He wouldn’t let me lose my faith!... instead!... He held me in His loving arms!... that’s why I’m still here!... I never lost my faith!... my cares of the world were too heavy for me!... on my road the focus was not clear!... tears welled my eyes!... but I never lost my praise!... my faith!... kept me alive!... wheew!...
Now to Him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ!... according to the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages but has now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been made known to all nations!... according to the command of the eternal God!... to bring about the obedience of faith!... to the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ!
Amen
