I Come Again
“He brought me out into a broad place; he rescued me, because he delighted in me” (Psalm 18:19).
Holy daughter, stand and claim your place, the one I’ve saved just for you. You are the rescued one, the redeemed and beautiful one.
Oh, how I delight in you.
How I love to look on you and hold you. How I love to show you where I am and rescue you again. I have rescued you already, but I love to show you how I rescue you again.
I come again and again, for you. I can’t get enough of you.
I have so much love for you it cannot be contained. I am unabashed in my joy and love for you. I hold nothing back. How can I hold anything back? It is not who I am. I cannot change who I am.
And, my daughter, how you delight Me. How I love to be with you; I sing songs of joy over you. I created the music of your heart—and to that, together, we dance. Let Me show you more of Me.
Let Me take you further in. There is so much more to show you.
There is so much more—the two of us together, to see.

The God we serve promises to be a refuge to those who trust Him. Yet when Tiffany Stein’s infant son passed away in the NICU, God suddenly didn’t feel like an ever-present help in times of trouble. He seemed far away. Distant. Cold. But in that suffering, Tiffany learned something new about her Jesus—something that made her cling more tightly to Him than ever. Read the rest of her story here.
Mary DeMuth has faced her share of hardship, too. Including a father with damaging (and psychopathic) tendencies. But true to His word, God has redeemed her hurt. She writes: “The gifts God has given you are the shape of your redemption. He uses our unique makeup to bring healing to our hearts through the power of the Spirit within. You may have heard of spiritual pathways—those ways we connect to God. (There are many lists, but common ones include worship, nature, solitude, study, community, and service). But what about healing pathways? One of the ways God heals you is through how He has created you. Your story restories you. Your personality and gifts are things God uses to bring you to wholeness.” → From Restory Your Life. You can read an excerpt of Mary’s book over at Rapt.
Have you ever imagined what it will be like to see Jesus face to face, when He returns with all His glory? The apostle John gives us a picture of what it will be like: “The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters” (Rev. 1:14-15, ESV). John’s description of Jesus’ eyes is especially breathtaking. For deeper study, here’s an article that explores what it will be like to look Jesus in the eye.
