The Alpha and the Omega

Jesus,
The One who always was,
You tell me I need not fear,
Because You are the first and the last,
The Alpha and Omega,
The beginning and the end,
The One who know all things, understands,
The One who does not identify with the word "unknown."

No, You know,
That is why You want me to Trust, to not be afraid...

You know what was before me,
You know what is,
You know what will be,
Your eyes see it all,
And You tell me, "Do not fear."

"I am the beginning and the end, Do not fear!"

The One who speaks these words of comfort to me is the same One who with intense love planned and
     purposed my life, thought it into being, planted me in this world at just the right time in history...

The One who speaks these words, gave Himself, suffered, bled, died, rose again so I might be set free
     from the curse, the grip of the enemy.

The One who speaks these words, knows my past...

He has picked me up when I have tripped,
Pulled me out when I got stuck in the mud...

He knows my yesterday.
He is acquainted with my today.
He sees my tomorrow...and the next...

And He whispers,
"Do not fear, I am the beginning and the end,
 You are safe with Me,
 I got you covered,
 I am right beside you,
 All the way...to the end...and then forever!!!

Rev. 1:17
