The Master's Hand

Sometimes I feel as if I am drowning. Everytime I find a solid ground it turns to quick sand. Leaving me grasping for only the Master's Hand.

Years ago I prayed that I would follow the Lord where ever He wanted to take me. I prayed that I would grasp hold of His hand and follow, whether I could see the next stepping stone or not, I would trust Him, blindly! Funny, when our hearts line up with our words He honors those.

So for the last couple of years, I have been following, blindly. Sometimes feeling..well, frankly forsaken.

But I know that I am not forsaken. As I said before everytime I reach for something other than His hand, he removes my "crutches", leaving me with only one option, Him. He is always there! He answers my cry, when I cry out to Him. Being dependent is a very vulnerable feeling, but My Lord, makes me vulnerable to HIM! Which is what makes me STRONG! Doing things on my own doesn't make me STRONG, that makes me resourceful, but real strength comes from letting go!!

He told me once that I would be as a tree planted by the waters, and I would spread out my roots by the river, and although the heat comes, I will continue to bear fruit!
I am not drowning, I am planting, ...these waters that I am treading through are for the strengthing of the roots!
