But, I've missed you and thought I'd share a thought or two. Preachman (aka Rob Albright) delivered a wonderful lesson this morning about being a follower of Christ. He started by asking if we could think of anyone better to follow. Of course, we could not! He described the perfect attributes of Christ and the reasons He is the only One to follow and then talked about different kinds of followers. I wonder if my following pleases God. Am I following closely enough? Probably not. Do I stray too often? Probably so. Do I ever follow for the wrong reasons? Certainly. My heart bubbles over with thanks that the One I follow is long-suffering and loving! I know I am not nearly as patient with my children. I am so thankful He is a perfect parent!
Following Perfection
Perfect footprints on
a perfect road.
Perfect friend to
help me bear my load.
Perfect light for
guiding my dark way.
Perfect shelter
through the stormy days.
Perfect promise of
eternal life.
Perfect sweet peace
in times of great strife.
Perfect sacrifice for
my lost soul.
Perfect rest from our
labor and toil.
Hold my hand as we
walk
Guiding my clumsy
steps.
Lift my head with
Your light.
Hide my heart in the
cleft.
My words, my steps,
my ways
Let them glorify You!
May I follow closely.
Keep my heart ever
true!
