MYSTERY MOUNTAIN High on the mountain the secrets of life reveal that faith and trust in the one who walked there long ago, who felt the suffering of mankind and was so deeply troubled by the world of care. The answers are there that we need to find. We have only to walk in His footsteps. The mists clear as we seek to understand the ever-healing power of His creation. High on the mountain there is no mystery that He cannot answer, no pain that can not clear away the debris of a lost soul. We have only to walk in His footsteps. For those who choose to turn away from Him, the pathway to the mountain is very steep. Thorns and brambles cut into our hearts as we try to unravel the mysteries of existence. The power of the mountain remains stronger than our will to survive, we stumble and fall. We have only to walk in His footsteps. I have been at the foot of the mountain, searching. I have climbed through thorns and brambles, struggling to reach the top, heartsore and bleeding. Through the darkness I see a clearing, light ahead, and there at the top of the mountain of mystery I come face to face with a forgiving, loving God. I had only to walk in His footsteps.
