Rising from the Ashes

Thank You for lifting me from the ashes,
As I gaze into your beautiful face. 
Your piercing eyes of Love welcome me.

Thank You for lifting my soul up to the heavens.

Thank You for keeping me safe and holding me close in Your arms.

Thank You for giving me the tools to keep me occupied, although it was very difficult at times.

Thank You for surrounding me with people who cared, especially my mother who held me in her arms until the pain subsided.

This too is for Your honour and glory.

There is a greater purpose behind this, although it is not clear at this very moment.

You shine through me in the darkness.
