The Bible says God’s ways are as far above our ways as the stars are above the earth. So far, in fact, that it cannot be comprehended by the mind of man or woman. Why would the answer to one prayer be yes and the answer to another be no? Why would there be a flood, a drought, a tornado? There is no understanding it. But by faith, we can trust that He does know, does care for us, does listen to our prayers, and does hold us in His hand, turning everything to His purpose, which ultimately is that we become more and more like Jesus.

Life is not my own…
i am not a maker of promises
i am not a spinner of fine threads of dreams
i cannot weave happiness into tomorrow
though I try
life is not my own.
i follow on
i am a follower
i live by listening
and trust to grow
and grow by trusting more
still more
come along
i follow on.
my footsteps climb a path
i cannot see
i do not need to see
the Light is strong
the darkness gone
and Love blows like the wind
the breath of Life
still given not my own.
where are the promises
i have them here
where are the answers
there is but One
i follow on
the path grows hard
the stones are sharp
i follow still
beyond me and above
lies a pasture green and rich
and happiness
still given not my own
it is not mine to give.
