~Steps For Eternity~

Hi Subi prayer partners,

This is my gift to you. ❤️

~The steps you take on earth, have great significance~

The LORD directs the steps of the godly.

He delights in every detail of their lives.

(Psalm 37:23)

God’s home was my safety

God’s home was my guide

God’s home was my comfort

God’s will, was inside!

♡♡♡

But I chose to ignore God’s call

So I stepped out without Him

I packed all my belongings

I wanted to experience sin.

♡♡♡

I left my childhood Bible

I brought my worldly sack

I chose to walk away

I didn’t wanna turn back!

♡♡♡

As I stepped alone in freedom

My footprints came too

They quietly left their mark

Without my worn out shoes.

♡♡♡

Every time I turned around

They disappeared so quick!

I wanted my footprints to stay

But the path was no longer lit!

♡♡♡

Why are my steps vanishing?

Why are they fading away?

Where is the dark taking them?

My steps are vanishing today!

♡♡♡

My steps replied and said

“We have no lasting good”

“You stepped off track awhile back”

“We would have stopped you if we could!”

♡♡♡

You took these steps

Without God

You left His loving home

God didn’t preserve your steps

As you stepped out on your own!

♡♡♡

“As earthly steps, we vanish”

“We will never come back”

“Why don’t you step again”

“And pray for new steps”

“To come back?”

♡♡♡

How do they come back, I wondered?

Don’t all steps vanish away?

How can any steps last

As earth’s a temporal way?

♡♡♡

As I stopped and thought

My heart whispered in my ear

“Your steps that follow God”

“Will instantly re-appear!”

♡♡♡

These golden steps

Are God’s will

They will last beyond earth

These endure and

Don’t vanish away

They are supernaturally birthed!

♡♡♡

In my heart, I prayed silently

I knew these steps

Spoke truth

I hated to walk

In darkness

I now wore

Dirty boots!

♡♡♡

I tossed my boots aside

I scrubbed

My dirty feet

I begged God

To give me His steps

That walked on golden streets.

♡♡♡

God dressed my feet

With His!

God’s feet became my own

I stepped inside

His loving steps

I joyfully walked home.

♡♡♡

I paused and stared behind me,

I saw a pair of golden feet

They didn’t disappear

Like my old steps,

They stayed visible

On God’s street!

♡♡♡

They were left there

For you

God wanted them

To remain!

This poem I am

Gifting you with today,

Is written in Jesus’s name.

♡♡♡

Follow these steps dear soul

They will lead you to Psalm 103

Read these verses on your knees

God’s Word will set you free!

♡♡♡
