The Still Here Creed

I am still here.

Not by accident.

Not by luck.

Not by coincidence.

I am still here by the grace of God.

I survived what was supposed to destroy me.

I outlasted what was designed to silence me.

I endured what should have broken me.

And I am still standing.

My scars are not my shame.

They are evidence of God's faithfulness.

My pain is not my identity.

My diagnosis is not my destiny.

My disappointment is not my future.

My losses do not define me.

Life hit hard.

Grace hit harder.

I am not forgotten.

I am not abandoned.

I am not defeated.

I am not finished.

God is still working.

God is still healing.

God is still restoring.

God is still writing my story.

My purpose remains.

My future remains.

My hope remains.

My faith remains.

As long as there is breath in my body,

there is purpose in my life.

As long as I am still here,

God is not finished.

I will not quit.

I will not surrender.

I will not give up.

I will trust God in the dark.

I will praise Him in the waiting.

I will believe Him in the middle of the process.

I am stronger than what came against me.

I am loved more than I know.

I am held by the hand of God.

I am still here.

You are still here.

And we are still here for a reason.

Life hit hard.

Grace hit harder.

And by the grace of God…

I'm still here.
