PROGRESS

It's encouraging to believe that we are making progress.  

Changes are happening and we are part of the new steps being taken.

They may be only baby steps and yet this is how we make progress, one step at a time.

Perhaps what might encourage us at times is to observe children, especially a baby learning to walk for the first time...

The innocence of the child protects it from feeling unable to face the challenge in question.

A child simply attempts to walk, then relies on the Parent to help out.

It might even try to run along and without the protection of the Parent, it would surely fall.

At times, we are like a child who is learning something for the first time, yet if we truly believe that our loving Parent is close at hand, then we have nothing to fear.

God will always be at our side, willing to give a helping Hand if we allow Him to be part of our lives.

This is the essence of wisdom, to make progress knowing that God is with us.
