There are footsteps set before each of us that we must follow. Those footsteps lead us to Calvary. It is a broken road filled with sin, envy, regret, pain, loneliness, and an incurable hunger. The hill is steep and fragmented. There are three places where the dirt is noticeably disrupted--three spots on this path where a Man fell from the weight of a seemingly unbearable load. But He looked forward. He pushed on, moved ahead.
This road will be the hardest you have traveled, yet you will be consoled along the way. There will be people perfectly placed throughout the journey to weep for you, to pray for you, to wipe your face, to assist you in carrying your cross, and to give you drink when you realize that you thirst. And in the end, this road will lead you to love.
Love became full only after He agonized in Gethsemane.
Love became full when He gave us His footprints to follow on the road to Calvary.
Love became full only after He let His heart be pierced.
Love became full only after He died, lonely and bruised.
Then He ROSE. And so you too shall rise.
Be compassionate, console one another. Remember that we are all so fortunate to walk in Love's footsteps together.
Sincerely,
A Fellow Sufferer
