You are What I need

I need a Comforter, but I also need a Challenger.
I need discipline, and I need liberty.
I need a miracle, but I need patient endurance.
I need beauty, but I need humbling.
I need strength, and I need brokenness.
I need an embrace, but I also need a push.
I need forgiveness, but I also need accountability.
I need mercy, but I also need justice.
I need fullness, but I need to be emptied.
I need to soar, but oh how I need to bow.
I need vision, but I must have blind faith.
I need rest, but I crave a furious tenacity.
I need to be quiet, and I must also shout.
Who can give me what I need?
You can.
You are my Comforter. You are my Challenger.
You discipline me in your love. You give me the ability to have discipline.
All the while you've set me free from every hindrance!
You are a miracle leaving a trail of miracles,
but in your patience you teach me to endure.
You made me beautiful out of your abundance of beauty,
but in Your abundance I am humbled.
You've given me strength in Spirit,
and my heart has broken open before you.
You embrace me in Your unconditional love,
and You push me to go higher and further.
You've forgiven all my mark-missings.
Your justice will flood this earth-- righteousness!
You've filled me with your Spirit of love and power,
and emptied me of all the old rubbish.
You are the wind that makes me soar;
with a bowed soul I fly high in praising You.
You've opened my eyes to the heavenlies,
and caused me to take illogical steps.
You are my Sabbath,
You are my persistence.
You are my Shiloh,
You are the theme of my trumpet blare.
Who can give me what I need?
You can, and You did.
