Footsteps in the Dark

Love like you have never been hurt, and laugh like you don’t know what sadness feels like. The feeling that you get from finding the unspeakable joy that can only come from God up above is the greatest gift of all.  Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all things will be revealed.  Today is another opportunity for you to be a blessing to someone else, so live, love, and laugh, it is good for your health, and your spirit.

Good day to you all!  I know that the day light seems like it doesn’t last that long, but if you let the Son shine in your heart you will have everlasting light. God loves you!

There are times when we don’t want to be alone.  There are times when we want to know that someone has our back.  That feeling of being surrounded by the unknown can be intimidating.  I know firsthand what it is like to feel like you are surrounded by the enemy.  I know what it feels like to be in dark situations and feel like there is nothing that you can do about it.  I have seen the face of despair and heard the voice of loneliness. It was dark. It was very dark.  There was no light to be found.  Dear Reader I say again, it was dark, and there was no light to be found. What I learned was that sometimes God works best in low light conditions.  I learned that God can make His best moves when our eyes cannot see what is going on.  I learned that when I was facing my darkest hour and He told me to sit still, there was still movement.  There were footsteps in the dark.  My feet were still, but God was doing some rearranging.  He was moving.  Sometimes we get in the way because we can’t see in the dark.  Our optical abilities cannot compare to God’s all seeing eye.  My weeping may have endured through the night, but Dear Reader, joy did not come in the morning.  Joy came that very same night, I just couldn’t see it until the morning.  I could not see it until the morning, but I could hear the footsteps in the dark.

Dear Reader, as we go through this life, as sure as the sun comes up the sun is going to go down.  I want to encourage you to go through this life with the Son in your sight always so that when the sun goes down, you can see the Son shine even at night.  There is going to be a breakthrough in your life.  The change that you have been waiting for is on the way.  Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean that it is not there.  Just because the darkness is there, it does not mean that God has gone to bed.  You might feel like you are surrounded by enemies, but I am here to tell you that God is surrounding the ones that are surrounding you.  I looked into the face of despair and spoke hope. That voice of loneliness fell on deaf ears because I could hear the footsteps in the dark, and I could feel the comfort of the Holy Spirit.  God is moving in your life. Just sit still and listen Dear Reader, for the footsteps in the dark.

You are beautiful, loved, and blessed
