The son stood quietly in the mist of early morning. The sun warmed the air and the day stretched out before him.
“Why do I feel such excitement for this day,” he asked the Father, “yet such fear?”
There was silence as he awaited the response. The Father’s words were wisdom and truth.
“The excitement you feel is anticipation of My working in your heart, expectancy of My faithfulness to be proven yet again, the joy of your will becoming one with Mine. But the fear, my son? The fear is not of Me. You fear what is unknown, unwalked, unable to be controlled by your strength. But have you forgotten it is not you who goes ahead? It is not you who prepares the way. That is who I am. I am the paver of your steps, the mover of your mountains, the companion in your valleys. It is I Who walks the way first. All you must do, My son, is follow.”
And the son moved close in the mist of early morning and said, “Yes. You are provider and leader, paver and mover, companion and truth. My faith is small. Lead me, and with my whole heart will I follow.”
