Open fields before me, I watch the sun slowly set. Then looking up into the sky I wonder, how long?<\/h6>\n
How long before your return Lord? I\u2019ve been walking this road many years now and I feel so all alone\u2026<\/h6>\n
Then a gentle breeze took my breath away, and I remembered his words, showing me the way home.<\/h6>\n
He said, \u201cChild, I\u2019m going away but I will come again. And when I do, I\u2019ll come back for you and take you to where I\u2019ve been.\u201d<\/h6>\n
\u201cYou see, I\u2019ve been with you all along. You\u2019re never out of my sight. It may seem that you are forgotten, but darlin, that\u2019s only because you can\u2019t see me, but I\u2019ve been here all along.<\/h6>\n
I watched over you as you were born. I saw you take your first steps and speak your first words. I was there when you skinned your knees and heard you say, God bless you when someone sneezed<\/em>. I witnessed all your heartbreaks, and I heard every prayer. I answered in ways you never knew, knowing what was best for you. Sweetheart, I\u2019ve always been there. Throughout the years I\u2019ve wiped away each and every tear and I shared in your greatest joys and saddest woes\u2026child of mine, I saw you birth your own and heard you count each finger and each toe. You are never alone. My greatest moment for you was when you said, Lord I do and I will always follow you. <\/em>Even now, I am with you. I\u2019m the silent presence at every meal. I am your neighbor and your friend. In sickness I cradle you. In weakness I give you strength to carry on one more day. And some day when it is time for you to come home, I\u2019ll come to your side, I\u2019ll take your hand and lead you safely home. The home I\u2019ve been preparing for you for a very long time. It will be your forever home. You won\u2019t feel alone ever again. You\u2019ll see loved ones singing and rejoicing. You\u2019ll see the Father, Me and Holy Spirit. Everyone will be thrilled that your journey is complete. Honey, until that time, occupy. Tell others who I am and when you watch the sunset and sunrise, remember I AM with you every step of the way. All the way to the beginning of forever!\u201d<\/h6>\n
Lord, thank you for hearing and answering I needed your touch today. Refreshed and encouraged. Let me be that way for others today! Take these words and use them for your glory and a praise. We never walk alone. Help me remember you are always by my side. Just walking us all home, day by day!<\/h6>\n

\u201cLet not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father\u2019s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. <\/em><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
