Walk in it

"A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps." -- Proverbs 16:9

"All you have to do is to walk in it," He said. "Pick up My blessings along the way. Some are so far away that you can't see them yet. But I assure you, whatever your heart desires, I will put it in your path."

She looked down at the yellow brick road, and for the first time, realised that it wasn't made of bricks. It wasn't all yellow either; it held all of the colours of the rainbow. This path that she'd been walking was carpeted with diamonds -- every inch of it. It took her breath away.

"I want you to walk slow enough to pick up the little diamonds too. Sometimes, the big ones hinder you from seeing the small ones under your feet. Trust that I have your path planned out, and that every step of it is very good."

She looked up, and despite the uncertainty, she believed Him -- the only thing that she would trust, that she would cling on to -- if not before, then from now on.

"All you have to do is to walk in it."
