a little girl and her Daddy

I saw a little girl; she was holding the hand of her daddy as they were walking on the beach. Her little dress was flowing in the breeze.

I saw their feet; her tiny two or three year old little feet.

Stumbling

 Tripping

Struggling to walk in step with her daddy. Walking in the sand can be hard… she was trying to keep up with him.

I saw the daddy take the little girl’s hands in his and swing her up, putting her on his shoulders.

He carried her on his shoulders.

There she was, arms outstretched, feeling the breeze on her face, enjoying the ride; her eyes were closed, no longer worrying or needing to worry about keeping up with her daddy.

She was with him.

God’s been reminding me that I need to rely on His strength.

I need to take the focus off of my struggles and allow Him to carry me on His shoulders. It’s there I can see the bigger picture- I see what He sees.

It’s there I am truly free.

Secure.

I no longer have to worry.

I am carried on my daddy’s shoulders.
