Your Example

They asked this to test him. They wanted to find a reason to bring charges against him. Jesus bent down and used his finger to write on the ground. When they persisted in asking him questions, he straightened up and said, “The person who is sinless should be the first to throw a stone at her.” Then he bent down again and continued writing on the ground. One by one, beginning with the older men, the experts in Moses’ Teachings and Pharisees left. Jesus was left alone with the woman. Then Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Where did they go? Has anyone condemned you?” The woman answered, “No one, sir.” Jesus said, “I don’t condemn you either. Go! From now on don’t sin.” ‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭6‬-‭11‬ ‭(GW‬)‬ Allow my light to shine upon and through you. I am the light of the world. Within me is life. Follow me. I will show you the way you are to be going. I am your example.

Walk With Me

I am the gate. Those who enter the sheep pen through me will be saved. They will go in and out of the sheep pen and find food. A thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. But I came so that my sheep will have life and so that they will have everything they need. ‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭(GW‬‬) Have you learned what is important? You hear me, but allow me to bring the understanding. Allow truth to find its' place within your life. Let it replace fear. Come Nearer. I will feed and direct you in my way. I will be with you to keep you on the right path. Now is the time to walk with me.

The Example

Then Jesus appeared. He came from Galilee to the Jordan River to be baptized by John. But John tried to stop him and said, “I need to be baptized by you. Why are you coming to me?” Jesus answered him, “This is the way it has to be now. This is the proper way to do everything that God requires of us.” Then John gave in to him. After Jesus was baptized, he immediately came up from the water. Suddenly, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God coming down as a dove to him. Then a voice  from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love— my Son with whom I am pleased.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭3‬:‭13‬-‭17‬ ‭(GW‬‬) Learn to trust me. Have I not done those things which I said I would provide for you? Even now I speak my heart to you and yet you get tense and begin to worry. Trust me. Follow what I have shown you. Follow the example I provide.

Peace and Direction

Listen to the message that the Lord has spoken to you, nation of Israel. This is what the Lord says: Don’t learn the practices of the nations. Don’t be frightened by the signs in the sky because the nations are frightened by them. The religion of the people is worthless. Woodcutters cut down trees from the forest. The hands of craftsmen prepare them with axes. Craftsmen decorate them with silver and gold and fasten them together with hammers and nails so that they won’t fall over. These trees are like scarecrows in cucumber gardens. They aren’t able to speak. They have to be carried, because they can’t walk. Don’t be afraid of them. They can’t harm you. They can’t do you any good either. No one is like you, O Lord. You are great. Your name is powerful. ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭10‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭(GW‬‬) Listen for me to speak to you throughout your day. I do not need be in a thunderous voice. In the quietness of thoughts I will send my gentle breeze. My direction will ride upon them. Leave those nerves a...

Become Strong

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Bring to me your worry and leave it upon my altar. Allow it to be burned as an offering. Even day to day, do you your remember our conversations? Sit and offer them up as my direction and feeling towards you. Grow in the fullness of grace. Eat daily of my Word. Become strong in me.

You Will See

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For everything was created by Him, in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities — all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and  by Him all things hold together. ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1‬:‭15‬-‭17‬ ‭(HCSB) I will send you back for those things you have forgotten. They are not lost, but are waiting for you to again pick them up. Reach forward with my direction. I will reveal the direction in my timing. I am growing my depth in your character. I am planting my ways, so you will see the way to be going.

Proper Perception

The poor in spirit are blessed, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs. Those who mourn are blessed, for they will be comforted. The gentle are blessed, for they will inherit the earth. Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness are blessed, for they will be filled. The merciful are blessed, for they will be shown mercy. The pure in heart are blessed, for they will see God. The peacemakers are blessed, for they will be called sons of God. Those who are persecuted for righteousness are blessed, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs. You are blessed when they insult and persecute you and falsely say every kind of evil against you because of Me. Be glad and rejoice, because your reward is great in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭3‬-‭12‬ ‭(HCSB‬‬) Leave your perceived failures upon my altar. You are covered in my incense. Prepare to walk through as you allow me to unlock those closed doors. My blessing will follow you as you share it ...
