Always With Me

I used to run from Him, but He was always with me. When I found my bottom, I asked myself how will I find Him again. He called to me and knew my true name. He had never left my side or given me up for lost. He was always pursuing me through storms and calamity. 

Once I was done running, He beckoned me to continue to walk with him. He protects me and guides my steps. He shows me His unmeasurable love. I strive to show my gratitude and devotion. I endeavor to embrace His way. Without His guideposts, directions, and nourishment I would have perished long ago. He makes my path straight and shines a light in the darkness. Even through the wilderness, I find courage, strength, and peace.

Therefore, as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude.

Colossians 2:6-7 NASB2020

There is no thrill for us in walking, yet it is the test for all of our steady and enduring qualities. To “walk and not faint” is the highest stretch possible as a measure of strength. The word walk is used in the Bible to express the character of a person— “…John…looking at Jesus as He walked…said, ‘Behold the Lamb of God!’ ” (John 1:35-36). There is nothing abstract or obscure in the Bible; everything is vivid and real. God does not say, “Be spiritual,” but He says, “Walk before Me…”
