I once was Jacob, alone and struggling with God.
He wrestled me until daybreak and then took hold of my heart.
He has never relented.
Never ceased.
His love remains each and everyday. While the stones may be tossed my direction and the winds hurl me into the mist, His arms hold me tightly.
We struggle together, He and I.
He has formed me and called me Jacob.
But He has chosen me and named me Israel.
From within me, a powerful city of His love will be erected.
Through me, nations of fear will fall.
Because of Him, these former things have become new.
And I have become He.
Because He dwells in me, I am now Him.
As He richly builds me up, He breaks down the walls of my old city.
The old becomes new.
He is ransoming me, His Israel.
"For the Lord has redeemed Jacob, He displays His glory in Israel."
