On this day father, you did the unthinkable. You did what wasn’t fair. You did what I didn’t deserve.
On this day father, you did what I could not…what no one could.
On this day you went through an illegal trial. You were brutally beaten. You paid a price too high for me to
pay. You gave your life for mine. You forgave when I wouldn’t. You showed love when I couldn’t.
On this day you became the Daddy I would never have on earth. You gave me strength beyond my own.
You counseled me when I was weak. You let me know that I would never, ever, be alone.
Though I feel Your spirit stirring in me, loving me, guiding me…there are days that I do not. Yet You have placed people in my life to be your hands to hold, arms to hug, shoulders to cry on, feet to keep me moving, voice to comfort and motivate, your ears to listen as I vent, rant, and weep.
Though today is one the hardest days I have known, I know that I am not alone. I know that this trial is not forever, but that your love and care is.
Thank you Father, that it is not what I have said or done. Thank you that it is not because of who I am. Instead it is because of who You are, and what You have done.
Thank you Daddy, for Your inconceivable grace and love.
On this day Father you didn’t do what was fair, but You did what was good.
Your daughter,
Jamie
