Selfless Climbing versus Ego Climbing

This day (and everyday), I am on a pilgrimage to Heaven.  I've learned (the hard way) through the course of this journey,  when "I tried" to walk "my way" (by my own power), I literally broke down.  It took me ten years to realize I needed to surrender all and plug into  "God Power".  No longer relying on "me" but rather HIM, I was able to walk again.    
Brought up in a faith that required me "to walk a very tight rope".  (One misstep meant "consequences" . . . the greatest of which meant "not reaching heaven".)  After 30 years, in the "do do do" traveling mode, I got to the point of "collapse".  
"God Power" (complete dependence on Him) freed me to "be".  To actually ENJOY the journey (this pilgrimage).  
To allow God to lead . . .
To allow God to carry my "backpack" . . . 
To allow God to cover me . . .
To allow God to do what only God can do . . . Draw me in to Him
 I know where I'm going and I know Who walks before me  . . . 
My steps are light and purposeful . . . Drawn to Him . . . in and through His Own Most Holy Power.  Amen.
Previous reflections really touched my heart!  Thank you!  Love from me . . .  
    

 Thank you for your post as it was most definitely the reminder I needed to have re my own faith in God.....to totally surrender to Him and not depend on my own way.  I love what you wrote.  

 Amen to you, thats it exactly,,we are a beautiful mystery of paradox
