Have you felt like you are not measuring up to another’s progress in the Lord?  Does it seem they are accomplishing so much more than you are?  Have wondered if you should be more like them?  Our Lord loves us just as we are and He desires us to have our own, personal walk with Him. We need to be patient and learn to enjoy each day we are walking in His steps.

Wear Your Own Shoes

Wear you own shoes, they are just your size.
Another’s step may look good but there would be a surprise.
They are wearing their own shoes and must not your shoes take;
No one else can or should try to take your place.
Every child of God has their own destiny to fill.
Every individual can find and walk in the Father’s will.
A personal walk with the One who personally died in your place;
The One that at the very end will pull you into His embrace.
Even though I desire for you to wear your own shoes,
I also desire for you to learn from others as they learn to My too.
Heed the warnings, watch for the signs shown,
Study the Scriptures and form the truth in words your own.
Some try to emulate and imitate the steps others go,
But look and follow Jesus to go the way He shows.
With your own words of praise, as you sing your own tune,
You have your own special aroma that fills heaven’s rooms.
Again I tell you, wear you own shoes that fits perfectly as you grow.
I will use you just as you are to bring the truth to help many souls.

Jeremiah 29:11-13
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.  And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
