STEPPING STONES
Submitted 14 September 1999 by Debra L. Stitt <[email protected]>
The Lord came to me like a dream one day and asked, "why do
you sorrow?"
I answered, "Lord my life 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 to you and then you'll 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.
The road of
life is a mountainside,
with
crevices in which to be caught,
But as you
struggle on your way,
I the Rock,
will lend support.
Every
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 sorrows
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 your 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.
