32 It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure.

33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he causes me to stand on the heights

Psalm 18:32–33

New International Version

What we don’t see

Is the mountain

She had to climb

To get here!

~~~~~~

What we

Don’t see

Is

The tears

She cried

As she walked through

The fire.

~~~~~~

What they don’t see

Is the strength

It took to fight

To climb her way up.

~~~~~~

What they

Don’t see

All the times

She stopped to

Pray.

~~~~~~

What they

Don’t see

Is the one

Who led

The way.

~~~~~~

What they

Don’t see

Is what

Resides in her

Heart

The love

That shined

From within

A gift from

The one

Who wiped away

Her sins.
