I Cried, He Answered

Psalm 120:1

I took my troubles to the Lord, I cried out to Him, and He answered my prayer.

How many times I have cried out to God in my troubles and heartaches. And He has always answered me, since that day He found me, and, I believe, even before, protecting me and guarding me until I would be born into His own family. His faithfulness to me has been continual and constant, always for me, not against me, drawing me gently on. 

He has seldom been harsh with me all these decades; the hardest was when He took my dear husband from me, and yet He has carried me in His arms since. 

I know that the plans He has for me are for my good and His glory, and He is proceeding to carry out those plans for and in my life; and since He began a good work in me, He will continue until it is finished and perfected on that Day my Lord returns--my Lord, my King, my Redeemer, my espoused Husband.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
