STEPPING STONES

The Lord came to me and asked, Son, why do you sorrow? Lord, the world is so full of pain, I can't face one more tomorrow. The Lord sat down beside me, and gently took my hand. He said, Let Me explain it to you, and then you will understand. Each sorrow is a stepping stone. You must surmount each day, and every stepping stone you climb, is a sorrow that's passed away. I the Rock, will lend support. Each stepping stone you climb, makes spirit and heart grow strong, Exercising character and faith this road seems painful and long. The way is paved with stepping stones, to uplift your heart and soul. Though difficult they aid your way, to a City paved with gold. I know that you are tired, for I too have walked this way. My sorows did they multiply, but I cleared many stones away. I left my rock to lift you up, I left behind My story. To give you strength, to make you climb to that special place in glory. And never fear, the Rock is here, you'll never climb this mountain alone. Surmount life's sorrows, continue on, For they are but stepping stones.
