You Carried Me

Over the past few months God has been urging me to write again. I've been making up excuses as to why I shouldn't, but earlier this year I promised that I would be obedient to God's calling for my life... that I would do the things that I felt He was leading me to do, so here I am, tepidly forging through the great unknown, trusting God's calling.

I thought I would start with something that I wrote a few years ago. A blog post that was inspired by the song You Carried Me, by Building 429.

Anyway, I ran across this picture while I was listening to that song one day, and out of that song and this picture came these words:

What do I see when I look at this picture?

I see the beauty, majesty, and power of the waterfall... the ragged rocks below, the turbulence that the water creates as it hits the bottom... and I see the boat, and all the people onboard. Then I could see myself on that boat and I wasn't afraid. The boat is safe, the boat is steady as it maneuvers through the waters.

 

You know, as we go through life we're often mesmerized by the beauty that's before us... so mesmerized that we often forget about the possible dangers that are right in front of our faces, and sometimes when we realize what's happening its to late, and we get caught up in the turbulent waters and have a hard time recovering from the mess that we created for ourselves.

The good news is, we have a Protector, a Guide, a Savior who is constantly by our side, watching over us. He stands ready to carry us through anything and everything we are faced with. God carries me though my walk every day, without Him I know I wouldn't be able to make it.

If you're facing difficult times in your walk I urge you to turn to Him... turn to Jesus... He's at the front of the boat and will calm any and all storms that you're going through ~ allow Him to Carry You just as He has Carried Me through it all.
