God knows I'm a visual girl.
Not that I have to see to believe. However He often uses something visual as life
lessons for me. So today's lesson was a simple, but comforting one. I was on a 12
mile hike with my son-in-love, as I affectionately call him. And as
we walked this unfamiliar terrain he went ahead of me picking up branches, large
stones or anything that might be a hindrance, throwing them off to the
side to clear the path for me. I realized that if I just followed him he was
leading me well. So I stayed in step with that and just enjoyed the trail.
Then God started talking to my
heart.
He said "Anna this is how I go
before you in life... as you walk and spend time with me, fellowshipping with me, I'm
going before you and making your way straight. I'm lovingly getting everything
out of the way that may hinder you or cause you to stumble. Just enjoy life and
trust me. I got this!" -Jesus
As we came to the end of our
hike I received this timely text message of the scripture below from a dear friend. I love when God confirms our heart talks so clearly.
"Let your eyes look directly
ahead and let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you."
Proverbs 4:25
