I saw you at a crossroad

I saw you at a crossroads.

It happened when I was standing in the middle of the intersecting roads, looking obviously confused how to get there. It wasn't an issue of destination because I knew where I wanted to go.  I knew where my heart wanted to be led but I didn't know how. You know what frustrated me most? I knew my purpose but I got lost in my options. There were too many roads - each had its own lure.

Then I saw you - not moving, not saying a word. Five years back, I would have accused you of being uncaring. I know better now. You trusted me, you loved me that you didn't force your will into me. If I were to make a decision, I would have to make it, fully trusting that You will see me through.  

And you did. You still do. I still have my fears and doubts and there are times when overthinking gets the best of me but I've learned to listen to you. I've learned to see you cheering me on, helping me get over the uncertainties crying in my head. In you, I get assured that whichever way I choose, You will be in it, smiling, clapping. 

Through the years, you taught me that crossroads are your roads just the same.
