As you read this Point to Ponder, keep this image in your mind.

A man carrying his child .

1. On your journey through life, there will be times when you will be too weary to go on. It will be then that Christ will carry you.
2. There will be times when you will find yourself with infirmities, wounds, disabling wounds, brokenness, and unable to go on. It is then that Christ will carry you.
3. There are times when you will find yourself in a valley, down in the worst times of your life, and unable to raise yourself. It will be then that He will lift your hand and pull you up.
4. There are times when you will feel alone and abandoned. It will be then that the arms of Christ will hold you and embrace you. You will not see His arms with your eyes. Only sometimes will you feel them. But they will be there, always lifting you up, always keeping you, always holding you, always carrying you on.
5. There is one more time when a man will carry his child. And that is, when his child has died. As you close your eyes for the last time in this life, your father will once more hold you and carry you from this  world to your home, the Promised Land (Heaven), as lovingly, as a man carries his son.
