Big shoes to fill
Many a parent’s heart has filled with
delight when a tiny figure clomps into the
living room wearing oversized adult shoes.
How adorable! We’re simultaneously amused
and alarmed at this reminder that our
children will all too soon face the harsh
adult world. And our alarm grows at the
sight of unwavering trust in those same
small faces. Parenting is an awesome task
and most of us feel not quite big enough to
fill the shoes we’re already wearing.
The same doubt troubles our Christian
life. Jesus left us all shoes a few sizes too
big. Every day on earth He walked in mercy,
love and peace, bringing healing and joy to
all He met. Big shoes to fill indeed. Yet help
is there just a prayer away. Our loving
Parent will joyously help us grow into that
extra-large spiritual footwear. Remember
when Jesus said: “As the Father has sent
me, so I send you”, He also empowered the
disciples with the Holy Spirit. And that
same Spirit will be there for us today,
teaching us, growing us up in the faith until
we can walk steadily in Jesus’ footsteps.
Ready for a new pair of shoes? Slip `em on,
start praying and get walking.
