You think back over the trouble and
pain it took to reach this point and are grateful to have finally arrived here. But now what? You suddenly have an epiphany that this place is not your truest heart's desire. This mountain top, as beautiful and rewarding as it is, it is not the goal. It is but a stepping off place to where you truly long to be.
Many steps to come this far and it has not been easy. But this next step
is the most difficult of all - to step forward off the mountain top, knowing there is nothing to step
upon, except for trust.
This climbing upward, this reaching
for higher ground was more than a struggle; it was a blessing in disguise. As
you climbed, the air grew thinner, the pathway steeper, the hand and footholds
less sure. And so it was necessary for you to shed all extra weight. Every
burden that was on your back, your worries, your bitterness, your past, your
fears; one by one you left them behind. As each familiar but unwelcome burden
was shed, you gained more of the unfamiliar but welcome fortitude and focus to
climb.
And now at last you stop, you
breathe deeply, you see things from a grand new perspective; and you realize that
your back upon which your heavy loads have been; your back is free! Free for
Him to place your wings.
Here on this mountain top He will
give you your wings to fly.
This next step, this trust-step, you
will not fall into nothingness. You will not fall! You will fly!
His Love compels Him to rid us of
our heavy weights.
His Heart is to teach us how to
trust.
His Wisdom is to grant us whatever
it takes for us to realize the best of this life.
His Compassion is to be there each
step of the difficult journey.
His joy is to give us wings to fly!
Are you in the valley? Look up!
Are you climbing a mountain? Don't give up!
Are you at the top? Learn from what you see!
Are your wings in place? Trust ,and leap!
