The All - Sufficient One

     Today's entry, posted by Lane, comes from a devotion book that I try to read an entry from each day. I don't always succeed at this, but I am really glad I did today! What I read was something that really stood out and I wanted to share it here with you.

The All - Sufficient One
"'I am the Alpha and the Omega,' says the Lord God,
'who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.'" - Revelation 1:8

You are Holy Lord, the Only God,
   and Your deeds are wonderful.
You are Strong.
You are Great.
You are the Most High,
You are Almighty.
You, Holy Father, are King of Heaven and Earth.
You are Three and One,
Lord God, all good.
You are Good, all Good, Supreme Good,
Lord God, living and true.
You are Love,
You are Wisdom.
You are Humility,
You are Endurance.
You are Rest,
You are Peace.
You are Joy and Gladness.
You are Justice and Moderation.
You are all our riches and You suffice for us.
You are Beauty.
You are Gentleness.
You are our Protector,
You are our Guardian and Defender.
You are Courage.
You are our Haven and our Hope.
You are our faith, our great consolation.
You are our Eternal Life,
Great and Wonderful Lord,
God Almighty,
Merciful Saviour.

- Saint Francis of Assisi

Thank you Lord for all of these attributes and yet even so many more!
