There’s No One Like My God

It’s been almost 15 years now that I’ve been clean. And every once in a while I’m startled into a reminder of how much I’ve been saved from.

I had a terrible dream. In the dream an old friend came to visit me and brought drugs to use, and we did. All those old gross feelings of tension and anxiety were present in the dream. I woke up remembering.

I woke up thinking ‘Why on earth did I dream this?’

My desire for drugs is long gone but those old feelings of anxiety that existed while using I can still hark back to from time to time (on a much smaller level).

I remember there was a time in my life when no matter how hard I searched I couldn’t find what I was looking for- literally and figuratively- a time when my pain was untouchable and invisible but tangible.

There’s something very real and very humbling about remembering. I was plucked from a path that could have easily killed me and I have mercifully been brought into wholeness.

My God is a very big God. I remember. I always will. There’s no one like my God.
I’m reminded of one of my favorite songs:

There Is No One Like You
The Violet Burning
Strength

All I have
All I am
I lay it down before you
With my heart, I give
Anything for you
Everything, I lay it down for you

I am nothing
And I have nowhere to turn
I am nothing
So I lay down and cry for mercy
O mercy

Everything I am
I lay, I give
I cast my crowns
Down to the ground

I am nothing
And I have nowhere to turn
I am nothing
So I lay down

And there is
There is no one
There is no one like you
