Have you ever noticed trees, houses and high wires in a neighborhood – perhaps where you live? Watch what happens as you may notice (busy) squirrels there. When I watch them, I can hardly see how they maneuver such great distances in what seems to be a thread of a branch. Yet, somehow they do………all day long. In a way that seems effortless for them. In their environment, they have learned to use their instinctive gifts that God has created within them. How much more will God do for us?! He will get us from here to there---always.There Are No Gaps
In the time line of my life
There are times………….
Times that I question
What the purpose and intent
of a particular thing is.
There are questions
I have for God………
Like, where are you?
The hills and valleys are high and deep.
At times………….
I feel as though I’m drowning
and I can’t breathe.
And I can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Nor can I see the way around this mountain.
Where are you God?
I’m so alone in thoughts of despair
and what seems to me……….
a wasted and out-of-sorts life. Then………..suddenly…………….
I am reminded of a life that others may have.
A life that makes mine seem like a “day in the park”.
Into many of these lives
I am the encourager.
Yet………
Often, I am not encouraged myself.
Though, as I continue to speak life
I find that I receive life.
I tell them, God has surely not abandoned you!
He is your help-----your Rock!
Is He not mine also?
We forget.
I forget.
There are no gaps in time that my Lord
does not have His eyes focused intently
and purposefully on me.
He saw me before the beginning
and sees me beyond the end.
He makes a way for me.
I will get from here to there
and experience all that He has for me
in the transition.
