I never

I will never forget Your precepts, for by them You have given me life. – Psalm 119:93

Life is filled with many different experiences and observations. There is a vastness to investigate, and here are several “I never” situations I have come across in my adventuring called “living.”

I will never say never, ever again.

I never saw it coming. Often, we never do.

I never expected the pain to be this great.

I never thought I would get this far.

I never thought I would see so clearly when darkness was my only companion.

I never thought that narrowness was the only option and in its path was perfection.

I never realized the allure of sin and that in its shallowness of fleeting pleasure it provided so much pain for all.

He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” – Hebrews 13:5

I never would have thought that l could live such a beautiful life.

I never expected seeing such wonderful potential among tragic waste.

I never thought that death meant life.

I never would have known love without the testing of my obedience to God.

I never knew that life apart from God is death on the installment plan.

I never realized that everything would be alright.

I never knew how paralyzing the false narrative of fear spewing from the world can be.

I never thought a man would die for my sins and set me free. Yet Jesus Christ did.

Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death. – John 8:51
