A Beach Without Footprints
In most lives there comes a point where a decision must be made – it can be rather scary…or maybe even very scary.
The trail looks difficult, steep…you may falter or fall. The end is such a long way away.
Remember, always remember, that we have a Creator who holds our future and He holds our hand. It is when the road seems the hardest that He holds us the closest. He knows what lies ahead, even when we can’t.
It is a rare thing to find a beach without footprints. Vast stretches of sand, washed clean by the waves. Untouched – waiting for you to leave your mark.
Our life is like that – no matter where it is that we are standing right now, as we look into the future, we have yet to put our mark upon it. God can see it, like we can look ahead that the beach. We take choices; some are harder than others. But our Maker is there, always, guiding, leading, sometimes pushing.
Take a look at your beach – the one without footprints.
What mark are you going to make?
Thanks for this sweet post.
We have a creator who holds our future and our hands.
It is really a wonderful message for me because I need he is in control of my future, and accopany me hand in hand.
This was beautiful, thanks.
I’m going to follow Jesus. (hmm… which means there must be footprints in front of me?)
Love the post and pics. I’m on my way for a beach-walk now…
This is a wonderful message. I want my footprints to be longlasting and uplifting. That is something I am working towards and with God leading the way, I pray that I am able to accomplish it. Thank you. Take care and God bless, Cory
This reminds me of the saying, “I don’t know what my future holds, but I know Who holds my future!” Blessings to you and yours! May we each continue to seek after the Lord’s plan!
Neat post.
Oh, I want my mark to read, “Sold out for Jesus.”
Great start to the morning. Thank you.
The only way I can even begin to take the first step is to trust that He is there with me. This was a beautiful encouragement.
What mark am I going to make? Good question. I pray heartily that it is a mark similar to one Jesus would make, but it really doesn’t look a whole lot like His. I hope He is good enough to cover my marks with the ones in His feet…
Thank you for blessing me today. I needed it.
Ellen, this is so encouraging (and I love the photos!). I pray my mark is one that is uplifting!
Such a great reminder. It’s awesome to think that God walks besides us whether or not we “see” of “feel” He is still there. It’s so comforting to know…
What an inspiring post! Thanks for sharing.
