That moment of quite uncertainty,
Of fearful anticipation
As your world comes falling in on you.
You fear the end,
The end of your dreams,
Your hopes,
The life you've laid out for yourself,
The life you love.
But do not fear.
As the Angel said to Mary,
"Do not be afraid."
Remember that He loves you.
That whatever may befall you in this life,
He will be there,
To guide you,
To lead you,
Down the path you were meant to tread,
Sometimes through cold mountain passes
Or dense inescapable forests.
But do not fear,
For beyond lies hope.
A cool spring in an empty desert.
Like the beautiful vista from a top a mountain,
He promises you His love,
His ever present hand guides you
Up the endless rock face.
That you may one day reach the summit,
And peer out above the world in awe of His majesty.
That you may look back along the paths you trod.
The paths you trod alone.
The paths you trod at His side.
In His arms,
Or dragged kicking and screaming.
That you may look back on the paths you trod...
And laugh.
Laugh that you ever found such things hard or difficult,
Or impossible.
For every time you made your own path
Every time you were lost or alone
He was there.
He is always here...
