TREAD - CAREFULLY - MY - FRIEND -

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

WRITEN BY S.C.MITCHELL
AUGUST  2014

Tread carefully my friend - for you may crush the petals of my
Heart with one false move - however well intent - for only those 
Who have of late walked in my shoes - will recognise the harshness 
Of the path - that I have trod - and yet - I do accept - that I am walking on 
The path - set out before me by my loving Heavenly Father - and my God - 
Who knows that I am frail flesh - who walks with trepid step -
Along life's harsh - uneven road .

Nor do I choose to fear the waves that lash against my frail barque - but -
Now  and  then -  their fearful roar will cause me cower - when in all truth - I
Aught to trust - but God has taken hold of me - and lifts my head - so I will never
Drown - but rise above my enemy - though bruised and battered - but not fully
Broken down - He brings me then to verdant healing shores - where peace 
Resides in pastures green - and quiet waters flow - and life and
Peace are gained once more .

For all of us who live in mortal flesh - we each must bear the scars on inner 
Conflicts of the heart - where suffering and sorrow have both walked - along the
Weary miles past - and gone - and there have learnt - through trials that may trip us
Up  -  and graze the soul  - the lessons of compassion - as we reach towards our
Heavenward - upward goal - by recognising other's sorrows and regrets - we are 
Not treading on these paths alone - but side by side - thus making lighter -
With each step - our heavy load - until we reach
Our destiny - and Home .


And yet - through all of this - one thing without a doubt I surely know - which is -
That I am not alone - and never will I have to walk uncertain - in my steps below -
As I am blessed in knowing that my Saviour has me in His loving arms - no matter where I 
Roam - until He brings me through the shadows - and the tears - to everlasting peace - and His
All-Glorious Home - and this same peace and certainty - I ask for you my friend - as now  I
Pray - that God - who knows our deepest needs  - Has heard my prayer - and He will
Bless your life as He has mine - today.
 

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

For each of us as we travel through lifes paths , we walk alongside others who we
can help , and who can help us ...So let us walk carefully so as to be a blessing
and not cause harm.

But for each of us , we all need the safe and secure  arms of the LORD helping 
us  all  through .

God richly bless you with His Saving Grace and 
His peace .

Amen.
