The love of God for you is so great that He gave His only Son to die for your sins so that you might have the right to enter into the kingdom of Heaven. Placing yourself at the cross on that day - seeing the blood and the pain He endured deeply saddens your heart, as you look into His eyes and see the tears flowing down your sweet Saviour's face. It is then, and only then that you realize just how much God really cares for you so, "Be Encouraged." Malachi 3:6 says that God never changes! That means that the same love that sacrificed for you on that cross is the same love that is with you today! God's love is always there holding you and comforting you. It was God's holding on to you that lead you here to this place. So keep your head and eyes lifted upward and trust in God then your spirit will also rise and you will be able to look back and know that "God is God"! and He loves you! Hebrews 13:5 says that God will never leave you nor forsake you. Weeping May Endure For A Night, But Joy Cometh In The Morning. (Psalms 30:5)
So remember my friend to always
"Be Encouraged"!
Isaiah 41:10
Fear thou not; for I am with thee; be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

FOOTPRINTS...A New Version
Imagine you and the Lord Jesus are walking down the road together. For much of the way, the Lord's footprints go along steadily, consistently, rarely varying the pace.
But your footprints are a disorganized stream of zigzags, starts, stops, turnarounds, circles, departures, and returns.
For much of the way, it seems to go like this, but gradually your footprints come more in line with the Lord's, soon paralleling, His consistently.
You and Jesus are walking as true friends!
This seems perfect, but then an interesting thing happens: Your footprints that once etched the sand next to Jesus ' are now walking precisely in His steps.
Inside His larger footprints are your smaller ones, you and Jesus are becoming one.
This goes on for many miles, but gradually you notice another change. The footprints inside the large footprints seem to grow larger.
Eventually they disappear altogether. There is only one set of footprints. They have become one.
This goes on for a long time, but suddenly the second set of footprints is back. This time it seems even worse! Zigzags all over the place. Stops. Starts. Gashes in the sand. A variable mess of prints.
You are amazed and shocked.
Your dream ends. Now you pray:
'Lord, I understand the first scene, with zigzags and fits. I was a new Christian;
I was just learning. But You walked on through the storm and helped me learn to walk with You.'
'That is correct.'
'And when the smaller footprints were inside of Yours, I was actually learning
to walk in Your steps, following You very closely.'
'Very good.. You have understood everything so far.'
When the smaller footprints grew and filled in Yours, I suppose that I was becoming like You in every way.'
'Precisely.'
'So, Lord, was there a regression or something? The footprints separated, and this time it was worse than at first.'
There is a pause as the Lord answers, with a smile in His voice.
'You didn't know? It was then that we danced!
To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: A time to weep, a time to laugh, a time to mourn, and a time to dance.
Ecclesiastes 3:1,4.
