When my father passed away, I knew the only father I had left was my Father in Heaven. Since my father has gone away, I graduated with a doctorate degree, wrote books, and ended up hosting a television show. These things I didn’t get a chance to share with my earthly father. There for a time I thought I had to fill his shoes, but I learned I couldn’t walk in the footprints that were made for someone else. The Lord didn’t intend me to live a life He created for someone else. I sought the Lord daily and learned in my own life that the Lord has a different plan for me. The only shoes the Lord wants to fill is yours and mine. We are to be His feet, His hands and His voice. We are to be Christ’s example on Earth until He returns. How beautiful are the feet of them, which bring good news. Now that I have stop trying to fill someone else’s shoes, this has made mine easier to walk in. He’ll make yours easier to walk in also. Just follow His path and He'll help you fill your own shoes.
