I shall endure.

As Aleron reflects on the Chant, he acknowledges that he has endured much. In his more bitter moments, he would say because he had to. But even in the face of such stark self-awareness, he knows too that it is his faith which has carried him through the worst. Will continue to carry him. It is the one solid foundation which has never left him all the days of his life.

"Who knows me as You do?
You have been there since before my first breath.
You have seen me when no other would recognize my face.
You composed the cadence of my heart.

Through blinding mist, I climb
A sheer cliff, the summit shrouded in fog, the base
Endlessly far beneath my feet
The Maker is the rock to which I cling."


Little does he know the great kindness Belinda has bestowed in her own prayers. Or how greatly the words have helped to ease the heaviness on his spirit this morning.
