Meditations—points to ponder

God has come for me—He continues to come for me. 

He has healed me—He continues to heal me. 

He has saved me—He is saving me still, 

crafting His Beauty and Presence more deeply into my soul. 

“I Am” has taken up residence, and His Very Presence is changing me. 

He Who is utterly Himself is enabling me to become myself, 

the ‘self’ He had in mind when He made me. 

He is Who He is, Who He has always been, and Who He will always be. 

God is I Am. He is not becoming—He already is. 

And now, because of Him, I too am becoming myself.
