We cannot fill another's shoes
But if we really tried,
Probably our feet would hurt
And maybe, too, our pride.
We must recognize OUR shoes,
For only these will fit.
As we grow into these shoes
We'll find our walk has grit.
Much of God's design is lost
If we don't wear His shoes.
We could lose God's chosen path
In something we would choose.
Only we can fill our shoes
Which God has hand-designed.
If we'll wear them faithfully,
His "riches" we will find.
"Know ye that the Lord he is God; it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves..."
Psalm 100:3 KJV
