One step at a time

When one finally surrenders to Jesus, they are filled with emotions unlike anything they have ever experienced.  We tend to get excited about our new life and want to go full steam ahead. Well that can back fire. As with any change in our lives, it takes baby steps. We need to take one at a time. When learning to listen to the Lord, he won't let us move forward until we've mastered the step we are on.
I wrote this one a while back but actually forgot I had. I'd like to share this with you now. My hopes are that if you are just starting out or perhaps you are stuck on a step that you take a step back and really ask if you are ready to move on. If you can't answer that then you know what you need to do. Look up and ask. It's not a race to see who finishes first, it's how we go along that matters.
Let's do this one stepping stone at a time.

Stepping Stones to You

Standing here upon the ground

searching all around

for ways to climb to You

Keep falling no matter what I do

Oh Abba Father can you help me please?

Standing here on the bottom step

wondering which way to climb

Have not found a path yet

I call out to You

Oh Lord, Will you help me through?

Up the steps I leap

Only to fall back into a heap

Patient I must be

Standing here upon this stone

Suddenly feeling all alone

Abba where are you?

Please tell me what to do

Where do I go from here?

With each step I climb

more of You I will find

Help me Lord to stay strong

through this battle of good and wrong

Some steps are too much for me

I cannot see the next step arise

If I look to You who is wise

You will pull me up.

Standing here upon this step

I can't help but look up

And though I have much more to climb

I know one day I’ll bow before Your throne

I know I can make it, I am not alone.

Help me Father God to take each step upon these stones

in faith that you'll be there waiting for me

with hope that you'll welcome me

and with love to You that grows in me.
