Steps

I love watching my grandson learn to walk.
Each time I see him, he has advanced a degree.
How proud he was when he took his hand off the sofa and stood all by himself,
And then he was grinning from ear to ear as he took that first step,
And then two and then three steps to get that toy he wanted.
 Last week, I counted eight steps before falling,
Today he walked across the room barely thinking about his accomplishment.




Our Father does not despise small beginnings.
When He asks us to trust Him in an area, sometimes we feel like we are taking baby steps.
 It does not bother Him
 He is there by our side to pick us up and administer hope.                     
 He asks us to try again, encouraging us with His truth.
 How He cheers with each step of accomplishment, reminding us 
   of His truth.  
 He delights to see us get up...time and time again.
 And before we know it, those baby steps have turned into a    
   steady gait of trust,
 As we gaze upon our Father, our Daddy.

 He does not despise small beginning,
 Because He knows these baby steps will turn into mighty steps 
   of faith.
 He knows because He put the greatness of His power within each
   of His children.
                                            
Next time I see my grandson, he might be running across the room...
                
You will be too...

That is what His goodness does!
