That is when I finally understood the truth that He was there all along, holding me close and carrying me, when I wasn't even looking. I wasn't looking, I wasn't calling out to Him, I wasn't seeking Him moment by moment . . . . . not because I didn't want to or because I had turned away in rebellion. I simply couldn't. I was so weary and my spirit had been crushed to the point that I could not lift my head or reach my hands out to Him.

If you are there today, my friend, please know that He doesn't need you to tell Him how you are hurting. He already knows and He is there, even if you aren't looking for Him. Even if you cannot raise your eyes to seek His face; even if you cannot reach out to touch the hem of His garment; even if you are broken beyond recognition and have no strength to lift yourself from your place of destruction, He is there and He knows. He is carrying you; there is only one set of footprints along the journey of your life, and it is because you are not alone. At this moment of brokenness, please be reminded that He is there, and rest in His promises. He will give you the strength that you need to stand again and walk with Him. He will bring you out into the light of His love and grace and one day you will look back and realize that He was carrying you, when you weren't even looking.
