I Am Never Alone…For I Am Your Very Own…Thus Supremely Blessed

Wise and devoted ones will ever understand God’s trials and tests, accepting them as ‘valuable things’ that help one to get closer to absolute surrender. For the one who is established in greater faith, what matters is the awareness of His eternal presence, while being tested…Sri Jullie Chaudhuri writes how she welcomes such tests only to reassure that Beloved Mother Sai walks along carrying His children all along the rough ride.

 

Whatever maybe the kind of trial and test,
However immensely tough and trying,
The issue that is being addressed,
It is Thy just and magnanimous grace,
That through it all I know and experience Thy Presence,
Perennially am I aware, Precious Lord,
That indeed I am supremely blessed…

Whatever the difficulty or need…however hard pressed,
I may be…
From all sides the world may cave in,
Oh! So claustrophobic and suffocatingly compressed,
It is Thy just grace,
That through it all I know and stay calm in Thy Presence,
Perennially am I aware, Loving Lord,
That indeed I am supremely blessed…

Whatever the impending conquest,
With trying circumstances overwhelmed and distressed,
Of achievements and triumphs seemingly divest,
From goals far distanced and digressed,
I face it all without any protest,
For somehow in some minute as well as unique manner,
You see to it that with Your utmost love and care,
I am gently and constantly caressed,
It is Thy just grace,
However harassingly tight the corner…
Whatever I may face,
However stressed and recessed,
I gaze into Your Lotus Eyes surrendering all nothing suppressed,
Hence,
Through it all I know and absorb Thy soothing Presence,
‘You are never alone…for you are My very own’,
Is the message expressed,
Perennially am I aware, Oh! Beloved One,
My Sweet Lord,

That indeed through all times I have always ever been,
I am…and forever will be…supremely blessed…
…for I am never alone…I truly remain Your very own…
Thus Supremely Blessed…
