Hand in hand

I would like to share with you a poem I read in my devotions this morning. The last 3 days I have had the flu, and with that the doubts seem to come a little more easily. It probably didn't help that this past week marks the leaving of full time ministry. Actually today was the day we arrived "back" and first saw our house in person!! Very thankful for the changes a year has made to this house! I know that I have kept my hand in His and need to keep trusting that the sadness ( darkness) will eventually lose all its strength!!

The day had gone; alone and weak
I groped my way within a bleak
And sunless land.
The path that led into the light
I could not find! In that dark night
God took my hand.

He led me that I might not stray,
And brought me by a new, safe way
I had not known
By waters still, through pastures green
I followed Him-the path was clean
Of briar and stone

The heavy darkness lost its strength,
My waiting eyes beheld at length
The streaking dawn.
On, safely on, through sunrise glow
I walked, my hand in His, and lo,
The night had gone.

Maybe you can relate, you have something you are going through. Keep holding His hand ,believing He will guide you through.

With Grace,
