Thoughts on HInd's Feet on High Places

Hind’s Feet on High Places
By Hannah Hurnard

“This is the story of how Much-Afraid escaped from her Fearing relatives and went with the Shepherd to the High Places where “perfect love casts out fear.’”

“The Shepherd stooped and touched the flowers…then said…Humble yourself, and you will find that Love is spreading a carpet of flowers beneath you feet.”

“Those who come down to the furnace go on their way afterwards as royal men and women, princes and princesses of the Royal Line.”

“Then she heard the Shepherd saying, ‘I bring my people into Egypt that they, too, may be threshed and ground into the finest powder and may become bread corn for the use of others. But remember, though bread corn is bruised, no one threshes it for ever.’”

Reflections
Can you hear the Royal summons? Will you accept God's invitation? If you are fearful and anxious, great! Now you have an opportunity to be free. Freedom comes through humility. It comes from realizing your need for God and that your current hardship is actually your appointed teacher. As you humble yourself and learn, you will come into your true identity and become the gift that those around you so desperately need.
