&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; God treats you the way one mother treated her young son, Timmy.&nbsp; She didn&rsquo;t like the idea of his walking to school alone.&nbsp; But he was too grown-up to be seen with his mother.&nbsp; She did her best to stay calm, quoting the 23<sup>rd</sup> Psalm to him every morning:[b]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. [/b]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; One day she asked a&nbsp;neighbor who walked with her daughter to follow Timmy to school, but to stay at a distance. After several days Timmy&rsquo;s little friend said, &bdquo;Do you know that woman who follows us to school?&rdquo; &bdquo;Sure,&rdquo; Timmy answered. &bdquo;That&rsquo;s Shirley Goodnest and her daughter, Marcy.&rdquo;&nbsp; My mom reads about them every day in the 23<sup>rd</sup> Psalm. She says they will follow me all the days of my life. So, I guess I better get used to them!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; You will too. God never sends you out alone!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Taken from <a href="http://maxlucado.myshopify.com/collections/best-sellers/products/fearless-hardback" title="Fearless">Fearless</a>
