Stairway to Heaven

Led Zeppelin--11/8/71--"Stairway to Heaven", a song about a lady buying a stairway to heaven.  It was kind of a strange song, but it still resonates right on up there with the big ones from that era.  I would imagine that Zeppelin could have made enough royalties from that one song alone to....well, buy a stairway to heaven.  But, that's not how we get there is it?  Him either.

 

Part of our stairway to heaven is the stepping stones we ourselves place under our feet.  Each stone represents a mistake we have made as we have tried to walk our walk, as we continue in our effort to become more Christ-like, and as we continue to strive to live as He would have us live.  Our mistakes, because of our human frailty, will occur.  But because of grace and redemption we can use those as stepping stones under our feet for an even surer footing.  We learn from our mistakes.



 

You see, we are given the path to heaven.  We don't need to buy a stairway to get there.  In fact, we can't.  But we can build the pathway ourselves.  And we do.  And along the way, God simply never gives up on us.
