The famous poem and painting Footprints In The Sand has become an inspiration for millions around the world. These days, like the rest of God’s Word it has been a practical truth in our lives. Even though I grow a bit stronger each week there are still many very weak days when all I can do is to surrender everything once again to my Lord. It is then, in my weakness that He reveals his strength and He carries me through the journey I cannot bear to walk alone. In fact, He carries Marcia and I together in His arms. Her arm and shoulder have hurt terribly for a few weeks and she is still pursuing some medical intervention that will help. In the meantime, we walk can we can walk. We allow our loving Jesus to carry us when we cannot.

He makes the same offer to you in your troubles. You needn’t carry them alone. Trust on the one whose burden is light, who welcomes you with “Come to me all you who are tired and I will give you rest.”
