I walked by the river side
Unaware where my path was leading me
And there I found, by the shore,
His holy feet dipped ankle deep in the flowing water
Softly humming to Himself.
My beloved.
“What are you doing here my Lord?”, I asked.
“Just enjoying the quiet of the day”,
He answered me with a gleam in His eyes.
I thought of the many times that I had seen that expression
On His lovely face
Reminding me that there was more to come.
“And what are you doing here my child… yet again?”
“Oh, I was just walking by,
I guess I am lost now.”
“You are never lost with Me. You do know that, don’t you, my love?”
I looked down… ashamed that I had doubted Him again.
“There is no need to be ashamed little one.
The path you take will scare you and so will
the ever-changing landscape around you.
It scares even the most hardened of travellers
And one never does get used to it.”
I knew then that I was not alone in this journey
That no matter what, He would always be with me,
“Come with me and stay forever
In this little life of mine.”
“And what’s on your mind this time my child?”
His voice brought me back from my reverie.
“I … I am not sure that I should be on this road.”
“My dear Hannah, you will never know for sure if the path you’re on is the right one.
But you can rest assured that no matter what path you take
My heavenly family and I,
Will always walk with you
To the ends of the earth.
Do not be troubled,
Rest your head on Me.
For I do not want worry to crease your forehead.
Instead, I want my light to shine through you and upon you,
And My grace to be bestowed on you abundantly
That those who see you, see Me.”
