Footsteps
by
Barbara Philbrook
It's been
five years since God revealed to me that he had a plan of
salvation and that it was offered for free,
and tho I'd known God since childhood I was blinded to
the fact that God could actually love me.
Not for
what I had ever done nor for what I could ever be,
God the Heavenly Father loved me just because I was
me.
He didn't
expect me to change not even the tiniest bit,
all He asked was for me to believe and my heart to
submit.
There was
no list of expectations no rules or regulations he would
take care of it all,
the only thing for me to do was surrender and then he was
there for me and answered whenever I would call.
I had
thought I had known sorrow and that I'd suffered every
kind of pain,
but since I've been walking with God I've learned that
the heights of these I had yet to attain.
Some of
the footsteps of our walk have definitely been up hill,
and some of them were filled with sorrow that can bring
tears to my eyes still.
We have
passed through times of riches more then we ever
realized,
then a time of misfortune Where I begged God to increase
my faith with desperate cries.
There were
times I'd be singing praises to God as tears of heart
tearing sadness had taken over me,
foot steps through worry and fear as Doctors revealed
several diagnoses that held no hope or happiness that I
could see.
But if I
could change the walk I've had with God I know I never
would,
because every footstep no matter how unhappy or painful
He has worked for good.
Now if
you'd like to go on a walk with God all of your very own,
just offer your self totally surrendered just as The Word
has shown.
Each
footstep is a memory each has a specialness all of it's
own,
I thank God daily that He walked with me and never did I
feel alone.
