“When they all went to sleep, He never did. When they broke, He held you up. When every means failed, He saved you. When all the creation left you, He remained. He always remains. Never forget how He carried you, when the storm pushed you to your knees and there was no one else who could help you. When you were broken and you swore this time it couldn’t be fixed—never forget who fixed it. Never forget what He saved you from. Never forget how He put you back together. That moment when you felt helpless and alone, never forget who never left. To forget this is the greatest heedlessness. No matter who or what may be beside you now, never forget those moments when it was only Him. Only Him. That is loyalty.
