Follow the Steps Of Your Guide I said: Let me walk in the field. God said: Nay, walk in the town I said: There are no flowers there. He said: No flowers, but a crown. I said: But the sky is black, there is nothing but noise and din. But He wept as He sent me back, There is more, He said. There is sin. I said: But the air is thick, and fogs are veiling the sun. He answered: Yet souls are sick, and souls in the dark undone. I said: I shall miss the light, and friends will miss me, they say. He answered me: Choose tonight, if I am to miss you, or they. I pleaded for time to be given; He said: Is it hard to decide? It will not seem hard in Heaven to have followed the steps of your Guide. I cast one look at the fields, Then set my face to the town; He said: My child, do you yield? Will you leave the flowers for the crown? Then into His hand went mine, and into my heart came He; And I walk in a light Divine, the path I had feared to see. ~ George MacDonald
