The Rock.

"Come to me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

When opened my bible last night it fell onto this page and this verse stood out like a shining light in the darkness after prayer. Over the last few days I have come to truly see that no matter what termoil and confusion, inconsistenancies and wrong expections are happening in my life, the word of God and the love of Jesus will always be consistent throughout the good times and the trials as he has in the past two years in which I have faced many in short periods of time.

I know I can pick up the bible anytime and read the wisdom and it will be the same as it was the day before, week before the month before and the year before and even in future- just with different parts of the light spectum highlighting meanings in verses that I missed the last time I read them.

I think God knew I needed to read this verse- Learn from it ponder on it and hand him my heavy yoke, my shoulders feel lighter already and what ever the trials I have reached a cross roads in a part of my life in the last few months. I have been standing there to long knowing I have to turn off the current path and start again down another. I feel a peace falling over me, my rock is there beside me patiently waiting for the choice I have made, take a deep breath and begin the next part of the journey down the new path.

Its not as scary any more, just a dirt path with new twists and turns and I'm ready to where it take me. I will lean totally on him in this, hand him my heavy yoke once again to carry for me. I will endeavour not allow the past hurts to shrowd my view and take control of any negative emotions waiting to surface once more. I'll focus on what he wants for me and grow and learn.

I'm trusting him completely down this unknown new path, because he already knows the way...even when I don't. Taking my small hand in his gentle, yet strong hand and we glance down the long lane walking in small trusting steps....

Over the last four years he has become rock that is the foundation of my life and salvation in every part of my life and existence here on Earth and in Heaven.  

For that I am eternally grateful.
