Dear Cloud of Witnesses,
Your stories are different from mine.
You all went through dark times but you came out strong.
I know some of you had my issues but you prevailed.
It was the same God whose strength helped you
If He did it for you, He can do it for me too
The excellence of Daniel, the unwavering devotion of Stephen, the tarrying spirit of the 120 in the upper room
Keep cheering me on, that I may be a witness too
That your faith in the Master will be kindled in me too
That I may meet you one day knowing that I diligently carried a fire the Father lit and passed down from you to me.
When I read your legacies, I am encouraged
Encouraged to lay aside every weight
Encouraged to keep pressing towards the high call
Paul makes boldness a reality, Esther makes influence a possibility
David makes devotion toward God achievable, I know redemption is possible because of Ruth
Imperfect people who trusted a perfect God
So keep cheering me on, that I may be a witness too.
Never will we consider our journey to be a solely path. Help us Lord...
God grace you
