“Until You’ve Walked A Moment In My Shoes”

Until you’ve walked a moment in my shoes,

you can’t know how deeply I loved that man.

And until you’ve walked a moment in my shoes,

you can’t possibly know how important it is to walk with purpose.

Once upon a time, I myself did not know, either…

that life was happening while I was busy tending to menial tasks.

Until you have walked a moment in my shoes,

you will not realize that because you move slower than others

that alone does not exclude you from winning the race.

Until you have walked a moment in my shoes,

I’m sure you will look around and catch yourself

quickening your pace. Not me you say!

Because until you walk a moment in my shoes,

you won’t realize, God slowed your pace,

that you walk with purpose, that you walk in His perfection.

Hear this. I don’t walk LIKE YOU, people!

Simply because I’m not going where you are going…

You may have the privilege of knowing one day,

when you walk a moment in my shoes.
