The LORD is my light

       and my salvation;

           whom shall I fear?

The LORD is the stronghold

                   of my life;

    of whom shall I be afraid?

...Though a host encamp around me,

      my heart shall not fear;

though war arise against me,

          yet I will be confident.

                   Psalm 27. 1, 3

(You are loved.

You are not alone in this.

No matter how things appear

                on the surface,

His purposes run deeper still,

His glory emerges 

          in unexpected places.)
