The Impression We Leave

It is the irony of the Christian life and the paradox of a Savior who was both Lamb and Shepherd.  We are invited into a life of yielding and following Him.  Along the way, it will often feel like lying naked in the snow…vulnerable, shocking, stark.  

As we decide to offer it all, in the moments as they come, and spread ourselves fully to His will, a mystery occurs.  In that point of challenge, and a decision of trust in His goodness, we will leave a mark of heaven on earth.  Walking in our own strength looks only like two footprints, that we were here.  Discipleship will leave something more beautiful.  We get to choose the imprint we leave.
