Before

Before

Before all of the blessings you have brought to my life

Before reconciliation

Before restoration

Before peace

Before healing

Before I could believe I would make it another day

Before my heart was set free and my mind was still shrouded darkness and grief

In my isolation

In my pain

In my sin

There was You, Oh Lord

You are the Alpha and Omega

You are my beginning and my end

My life is forever tightly bound with Yours

And before I understood

And even though I did not know 

You Lord are enough 

A poem by Rachael Wendy Baulch
