Bridge Building

HE BRIDGE BUILDER

An old man, going a lone highway,
Came at the evening cold and gray,
To a chasm, vast and deep and wide,
Through which was flowing a sullen tide.
The old man crossed in the twilight dim-
That sullen stream had no fears for him;
But he turned, when he reached the other side,
And built a bridge to span the tide.

"Old man," said a fellow pilgrim near,
"You are wasting strength in building here.
Your journey will end with the ending day;
You never again must pass this way.
You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide,
Why build you the bridge at the eventide?"

The builder lifted his old gray head.
"Good friend, in the path I have come," he said,
"There followeth after me today
A youth whose feet must pass this way.
This chasm that has been naught to me
To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be.
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim;
Good friend, I am building the bridge for him."

As we all have seen at one point in our lives we think that we are having to do this life all on our own. But we need to remember that Christ has already built us the path and the Bridge to help us though any trial or hardship we have. But Christ is there for us all we need to do is to turn to him in prayer and act on the our faith. Always remember that no matter how hard it is or what we are going though, He has been though it all.
He will lift our burdens, It may not always be how we want it, but he does promise that if we do our part He sill lift our burdens. There is nothing to small or too big for him to help help us with. He went though it all for you!! He loves you!! Turn to him.
