guiding you home
Grace Kim
When we come home, the first thing my family does is take off
our shoes: it’s hygienic, freeing, and tradition. Plus, I can tell
who’s home with no exchange of words!
We see feet being mentioned in the Bible in many contexts,
but “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path”
is a familiar verse. Psalm 119:105 is a much needed reminder
that God has graciously given us a guide. If we seek His wisdom
given through His word, we can reflect on our past steps
and carefully discern what our next steps should be.

Because I’m with people I love when I’m home, I associate
being barefoot with a safe haven and feeling comfortably vulnerable.
Regardless of where I am or what I’m doing, my feet
and I know that my final destination is home. Similarly, there’s
a constant force pulling me back to a spiritual shelter and to
the path God wants me on. It’s my responsibility to make my
way back, take off my shoes, and know I’m home.
