The real Forward

John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

The Way. From an article in Relevant, June 19, 2002, “being a follower of the way is not a path to travel, but rather a pattern to follow, an example, if you will.

“In order to follow the way we have to be like the way, imitate the way. We need to pay careful attention of the life of the way and let people see that in us.”

The way forward is action, to do like Christ, to follow His lead. It’s having Christ as a role model and behaving like He showed us. Jesus was a man of action, not if hand ringing. He was a powerful, humble servant, not a man of condescending self-righteousness.

In verse 12, Jesus tells us “very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing….”

Get up and act. Be visible and let your words and actions show who you follow, the way you walk your life.

I Love The Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the blessings He has poured into my life. I pray that I live a life that glorifies Him in all I do, but I fail every day, many, many, many times. I have come here through brokenness, a trail of pain and broken promises that I've created through my self centeredness, self will and arrogance. For those I've hurt, please forgive me for what I did. Those things that I remember I am truly sorry I did them. I wish I could undo them. I can't. I use these lessons as motivation to be a builder, to take those experiences and hopefully keep someone else out of their own similar experiences. I love my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my strangers, and those the world would like to dismiss as an unfortunate error messing up worldly perfection. I get frustrated with all of the above too, for I am broken, not like God. Lord, give me your wisdom, your patience, and knowledge of your will for me and the strength to carry that out in all I do. I believe we have work to do while we are here and need to be actively engaged in allowing God to work through us. A Christian is someone who does what The Father, Son and Holy Spirit calls them to do, a builder not a taker, a conduit not a pinnacle, humble and serving. Micah 6:8 Matthew 25:31-46
