The Path

The stone walkway was uneven and the sharp edges of the uncut rocks scraped the bottom of her naked feet.

This was the path?

This was the direction?

As she continued the way of obedience she pondered why she was led down a path of suffering before a new assignment?

Just give up and give in…

Learn to give in to joy! Stop analyzing every step, trust the Shepherd and follow his lead.

Receive!

She stumbled at these words, they cut her heart, just as the rough rock sliced her feet.

Tiny drops of blood marked her path. Anyone could clearly follow, her path of surrender.

As darkness gave way to the light of day she remembered the age old sacred words of comfort.

Weeping may last for the night,
But joy comes in the morning! (Psalm)

She smiled.
