God treats you the way one mother treated her young son, Timmy.  She didn’t like the idea of his walking to school alone.  But he was too grown-up to be seen with his mother.  She did her best to stay calm, quoting the 23^rd Psalm to him every morning:

    Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.

    One day she asked a neighbor who walked with her daughter to follow Timmy to school, but to stay at a distance. After several days Timmy’s little friend said, „Do you know that woman who follows us to school?” „Sure,” Timmy answered. „That’s Shirley Goodnest and her daughter, Marcy.”  My mom reads about them every day in the 23^rd Psalm. She says they will follow me all the days of my life. So, I guess I better get used to them!

    You will too. God never sends you out alone!
