Love is for the blind

Sometimes, when we look out before us, we see so little
We scan the horizon searching for something, anything, some kind of sign of life
But in the mist and the fog all you can do is see one step in front of you
Sometimes you are forced to step out into the unknown
The reason you are there though is because some things, terribly important things, are known.
With each step you take, your foot sinks into God-terrain, God-country - you can't flee from his kingdom company
If we only stopped to be silent we might hear the divine breathes.
Even as we take each step we are beckoned to remember that we have been gifted with a God-given energy for a God-given task
An involuntary valve allows the courage-building presence of God into our fearful hearts, pumping his life-giving blood into every sphere, carrying all that we need ever so faithfully time and time again.
Faith tells us that we'll be okay in the fog and mist.
Hope tells us that we'll find our way through the fog and mist, eventually.
But love is really important, love is what must guide each step.
Love never eliminates mystery, love can mean a million things.
But love will pave the way.
When we're so lost that we can hardly put one foot in front of the other
When we have no idea where we are,
Or where we're going,
Love will pave the way.
It might be all we have, and all we know
But that's great, because it might just be all we need
And love never fails.
So come fog, mist, rain or snow, love will lead us home.
