Sometimes there are shady cool pastures and cool water flowing, sometimes the sun is shining, or perhaps we go through a dark time. Sometimes Satan opposes us and tries to get us down but through grace we can conquer all the foes.But through it all God Leads Us gently along. He will never leave us unless we leave Him. He is always near, guiding us through life. And someday He will lead us up to Glory to be with Him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As always I hope you can read this hymn and find hope. No matter what you are going through God is leading us. Trust Him.
