Life's Bridge

"Life's Bridge"



Sometimes 
In life we come to a point when we have to make decisions we never thought we would have to.
When we have no choice in the matter.
You may have heard the term "coming to a cross roads".

Personally - I do not care for that term.
When ever I think of cross roads I think of possibly getting run over and flattened by a semi truck,
when I finally get the guts to cross over to the other side of the road!
Which is most probably what would happen to me in my life about now if I were standing at a crossroads -  Forced to make the decision I am faced with right about now in life!

Of course be that as it may - decision time comes regardless of whether or not we like the cute little saying that come with the seasons in our life or not.

Today
 I came across this picture. (Above)
Isn't it beautiful?


It is absolutely perfect!
I could not have painted a better picture! 
No, seriously - even if I could paint - *hee hee* - I couldn't have done a better job!

When I look straight into the picture and look down the bridge
 It takes me to where I am RIGHT NOW - in life.

You see - I am not so much at a cross roads - but more so standing at one side of 
"Life's Bridge"
Starring down toward what I know in my heart - is where my Lord has called me to go.
Yet at the same time - I am by myself.

This is a journey I must make alone.

There is no one crossing the bridge with me.
The Lord Himself
He, has already gone ahead of me and is waiting my arrival on the other side.
This is by far one of the hardest journeys I have ever made in my life time.
No sugar coating this one.
If I keep my gaze on the golden leaves that fill the tree tops on the other side of the bridge.
If I focus on the bright white glow permeating the entire lush forest on the other side of the bridge.
Remembering the promises spoken long ago - spoken - just the other day.
I am filled with hope - I am filled with courage.
I know I can do this - what the Lord is asking of me.
I know I can do all things through Him (Christ Jesus) who gives me strength.
I am moved inside my spirit man. I am deeply moved.
So much so I begin to
Step out on Life's Bridge 
Take my first step - in faith - towards the other side. 

Then
I remember and turned around.
I see those I love - behind me. They don't see me.
They have already left me.
In fact they won't even notice if I take this journey across Life's Bridge. 
I still don't want to leave them - even though they don't acknowledge me.
Amazingly
In a matter of seconds, the peace I felt focusing on all of God's promises.
Crossing over Life's Bridge and being in His perfect will for my life
Just Vanished
Now all I feel is a crushing pain in my chest.
My eyes begin the spontaneously leak tears
Weakness overtakes not only my body but now my spirit man as well.
I crumble and fall to the ground - my face in my hands I begin to weep aloud,
"Why? Why? Why Oh Lord?"
I can not seem to reconcile that I must live without those I love.

Except for my weeping there is only silence in the air. 

Then I feel the warm breeze brush across my hair.
A soft, gentle touch on my shoulder. I look up. It is Him. My Lord. He came back for me.
I'm not alone anymore.

Wiping away my tears - he takes my hand in His and together we walk across 

Life's Bridge
