To Live Free: The Way

Just wanted to share this, it truly blessed me.

Faith: Knowing Christ

What if a footprint appeared in front of you today? One after another. Leading you to higher ground. Or through a dark place where there is no light.
What if there were roads all around you. Crossroads. Turning points. And yet those footsteps faithfully appeared.
According to scripture, those footsteps are there. Jesus is called the Way.
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. John 14:6
If He is the Way, then staying close to God means you will stay on course. . . all the way to Heaven.
What does it mean to stay close to God?
To consider your faith as a personal relationship. One in which God listens, God speaks. You listen. You speak. The Word comes alive as it becomes a conversation.
To respond to what you hear, even if you want to run the other way, stay put, or charge on in your own strength.
He may say “wait” or “stop” or “don’t go there” or “come close during this storm”. Or He may say keep walking and trust Me.
We don’t have to live without direction. We might not have the whole picture or the complete plan, but we have the next step.
Just you and God:
To live free: God is the Way; walk in His footsteps.
Scripture: John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness. Colossians 2:7
Today: Make it personal. Close everything else out and look for the next step as you follow the Way.
