So this weekend I visited my sister in Colorado. We hiked this beautiful mountain, through the forest and up into the Tundra, passed the tree line. As I was hiking, I noticed that my gaze was downward, making sure my footing was in place. The problem with that is when I was so focused on the ground, I missed the beauty that was around me. I think in life, my walk with Christ, I'm so concerned with my steps and my own life. Often times, I fail to pause and look around at the beauty around me, but I also fail to see the hurting hearts around me as well. If we are so focused on our own lives, what good are we doing? Nothing. We become toxic to ourselves. God calls us to love others, to follow in his footsteps by caring for the broken. So, what about our path? "For in his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps." --Proverbs 16:9. Don't worry about your steps, because they are in God's hands. Instead, direct your gaze towards the world around you and love.
