Follow my lead, they say, but where are they going? Who are our heroes and mentors? Are they actors or real people? Do they have a real relationship with the Lord or do they have charisma? Where are they going? Follow my lead.

There are many, many voices in the wind. There are many preachers saying different things. Who is telling the truth? Who do we believe? There is an old saying that I really like. “To thine own self be true.” Did you know that when we leave this earth and enter eternity and face Jesus, that He isn’t going to ask us if we obeyed so and so. He is going to ask us if we obeyed and walked with Him. Yes, it is true there are mentors we are to imitate as they mirror Christ, but in the end, we alone are responsible for our walk. How did we react or respond to the circumstances around us? Did we receive the healing that was available for us? Did we get to know the Lord and let Him know us? Did we become His friend as well as He ours?

Life is about a personal relationship with Him. How does He speak to us? What does He say? He knows us and He knows what we need. Do we listen for His voice? Have we heard Him say that He loves us? When was the last time? There are things we can miss in our lifetime and it really not matter, but if we miss having a relationship with Him we will have lost everything.

Do we know that He treats us each as individuals and not as a number like this world system? He has a specific plan and purpose for our life that will bring us total fulfillment and joy. Those, who are living the life they were created to live, are the happiest people around. How do we get there? What can we do?

Follow His lead! Get to know Him. Ask Him to make Himself known to us and then listen and watch. Coincidences are not coincidences. Miracles happen all the time. Watch the little things. Pay attention to the details. Where is the peace? Is there a calm in the midst of the storm? This kind of life is an adventure because we never know what will happen next. There are ups and downs, twists and turns and we can expectantly wonder what is coming around the next corner. Check it out. Ask Him if He is real. Start following Him and see what happens next.

People let us down all the time, but He never will. Things might not happen as we believe they should, but it will always be better in the end. His thoughts are higher and His ways are higher than ours. He sees further down the road and He knows what we need. Trust, fix our eyes on Him and walk. Follow My Lead!
