Jesus carries me

As I look at this image it warms my soul. Thank the good Lord that as I suffer through the trials of my life Jesus carries me. I am not alone. I know that one set of footprints means he is carrying me. I am safe. I am loved. When I feel weak it is ok because I know he will not drop me. His arms are strong and he carries me to a place where I can find peace and joy. No matter how 'dark' it is all around me there is a light shining, enveloping me. The turbulence no longer sounds so deafening to me, it becomes quieter and quieter until all I can hear is him whisper " I love you my child. I am here." Then the peace comes.

One thing Pastor Carl spoke about Sunday was walking in fellowship and being in communion with God. It is then that you will hear him speak to you so clearly. Sometimes we allow so much 'junk' in our lives to pull us away from that fellowship and before we know it we feel like we are alone, we can't hear God's voice. What should I do God? Where are you? When God is there all along calling out to us but we can't hear him over all the noise in our life. But if we become still and just speak to him all around us can be a tornado yet we will still hear God's voice guiding us and all the while loving us.

Today, I am trying to be 'still' and listen for the voice of the Lord. He knows my trials and he knows my heart.
