A Dark Shadow

It looks like this hawk had a dark shadow over him. No matter how much he tried he could not get rid of the shadow above. (Actually it is a crow that was chasing the hawk away.)

Life is like that at times. No matter how far or fast I run I can not seem to shake the dark shadow that hovers over me. It seems to looms there waiting for me to fall or fail.

It is when I look past the dark shadow upward, I see the light of hope that comes from God. When I set my focus on Him the shadow disappears. I do not have to run from my fears but walk through them with the strength of God's love.
