You can with I AM!

I have been reading a book by Thelma Wells that talks alot about putting on the full armour of God.  It has been such a great book.  She has a section where she talks about what our lives can conquer because we walk with God within us.  I was reminded of the power that we have in Christ from the list and thought I would share it. 

"You can because I am the I AM"
  • I Am above every mountain you have to climb.
  • I Am under every valley you go through.
  • I Am centered in every strom that rages in your life.
  • I Am in every river you must cross.

  • I Am in every whirlwind that spins you around.
  • I Am weeping with you in the tear-filled bed.
  • I Am standing with you in every courtroom.
  • I Am sitting with you in every hospital room.

Who is the great I Am to you?

This list is amazing to me.  I have seen God's hands in my life in so many of these circumstances.  I am always thankful that God would choose to love me.  That through all of lifes mistakes and hardships he walks beside me.  I really don't understand how you can make it through life without a relationship with Jesus?  My life would be so different without the love of Christ.  I wouldn't have a marriage, love for life, understanding of why I am here, hope for the future, forgiveness, peace, days filled with joy, and so many more.

I am still praying for the people in my life who don't understand the love of Christ personally.  I am thankful for who the great I Am is and continues to be!

So, who is the great I Am to you?
