You are my Alpha and my Omega.

 You Are My Alpha and Omega

A Reflection on Revelation 1:8, 21:6, and 22:13

You are my Alpha and Omega—the beginning and the end,

The first word spoken over chaos, the final breath that will descend.

Before the world was ever formed, before the morning stars could sing,

You were there, the eternal Word, the true and everlasting King.

“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)

Alpha—my starting place, the source of all I am,

The origin of light and life, the great I AM.

In You, my story had its birth; my days were planned before one came.

You knew my name, You loved my soul, You called me from my shame.

Omega—my destination, the final, glorious rest,

The shore where every storm will cease, the harbor of the blessed.

When time has run its final course and stars have burned to dust,

You are the end, the finish line, the anchor of my trust.

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” (Revelation 22:13)

In between the Alpha and Omega, every step is held by You.

Every victory, every failure, every grace You make anew.

The letters of my life are written in the language of Your love,

And the Author never leaves the page, the Spirit hovers like a dove.

So I rest between the two great bookends—Alpha and Omega, First and Last.

My past is in Your mercy, my future holds no dread,

For You who began the good work in me will carry it ahead.

He who is the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth—to Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by His blood. (Revelation 1:5)

You are my Alpha, my Omega, my everything between.

The first word, the final word, the everlasting scene.

Amen.
