After coming to Jesus with our hearts, He asks us to follow Him throughout the rest of our earthly lives, trusting Him through each day, with every step, through the tough times and the smooth times.
“Come follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” Mark 1;17
Then He said to them all, “Whoever wants to be My disciple, must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow Me.” Luke 9:23
“My sheep listen to My voice. I know them and they follow Me.” John 10?27
Following Jesus does not mean our lives will be perfect and easy. On the contrary, He often works best through our times of suffering and sadness. We become closer to Him. Our testimonies become rich with wisdom and trust. His blessings are much deeper than the blessings the world sees as most vital. His love and hope grow in us when we are most vulnerable.
Follow Him and listen to His voice. He has the answers to the questions you are asking right now. Feel the warmth of His love and comfort. Follow His lead. He will use your stories to shine with His love.
Lord,
Even when life is not easy, we come to You. We follow You. We listen to You. Teach us to trust You and count on You every minute of every day.
In Jesus name,
Amen
