I kept pushing through the tunnel. It was pitch dark! I couldn’t
see anything; just when I thought nothing could be this dark, it gets darker!
Sometimes I run, sometimes I walk, and sometimes I hit a bump
that sends me flying. I hit my head, I break a bone, I even was dragging
through the mud, but I never stopped moving.
He continued to propel me forward, picking me up when I
fall, soothing my pains when I hurt, wiping my tears when I cry and not sparing
the rod when I deserve it.
He has a plan, whether I get it or not don’t matter; He will
work through me both to will and to do His good pleasure!
Through the tough conditions in the tunnel, the wind blew my
cover and with it went pride and self-will. I found solace in the warmth of His
will and with it came profound joy and unfathomable peace.
Then that feeling of anticipation began to build. He is
taking me somewhere! I am on to something! I can feel it deep within my
spirit.
I did not have a picture or a plan - I lost the ones I had
with me when I started this journey – but then, I have learnt to follow wherever
He leads.
Now, He has shown me a clear picture, a very beautiful one
beyond my imagination. He even brightened it with love, friendship, family, and
moments filled with laughter.
It’s not because I deserve it - because I don’t.
It is because He – by his love and mercy has chosen this time for me!
