The Shepherd's Point of View

You are standing on the mountain holding to the Shepherd's hand, the valley you just came through, was hard to understand. Then the Shepherd draws you closer, there's something He wants you to see, and He points back to the valley and unfolds its mysteries. As the eagles soar around you and you look back on where you've been one by one He answers questions, that He did not answer then. He now shows you the danger, of going your own way, all the roads you thought were better, would have led your soul astray. He reminds you of that moment, when you could not make it through, now you see one set of footprints, where He reached down and carried you. As your tears fall on His shoulder, and you thank Him for His love, He says "Child, I knew that one day, you'd see the valley from above." Things look different on the mountain, from the Shepherd's point of view. Standing high above the trial, that He brought you safely through. All the valley's disappointments, will never look the same to you, for things look different on the mountain, from the Shepherd's point of view. All the valley's disappointments, will never look the same to you, for things look different on the mountain, from the Shepherd's point of view.
