How joyful to walk with the Creator of the universe! For the first time in my life my soles meet the ground, certain they are home. There is no place they wander without the presence of the Lord.
My feet used to walk with trepidation and uncertainty. I questioned if I belonged in a place unless I received a permission slip of reassurance from the world. It’s okay, relax. You are welcome here. I often felt like the earth under my toes was foreign, even hostile, ground.
Where I once may have craved a word of reassurance and shrunk back in doubt, I now feel free to exist in any space. Loving Jesus scoops me up from the dirt, wipes me clean and lifts my face toward the lovely and the true, the holy and blessed unity. With my eyes on Jesus, wherever I stand, all I see is God’s unfailing love for me.
I no longer fear that I am in the wrong place. My soul is kept in the care of the omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient One. He meets me everywhere. God is my advocate, my defender, my companion and guide. He justifies me.
The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever. Psalm 121:7-8
