Walking Daily with Him
Following Jesus is more than simply believing in Him. It is a daily decision to walk with Him, learn His ways, and become more like Him. Jesus calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and follow Him. As we walk with Him, our hearts, minds, attitudes, and actions are transformed to reflect His character. We are called to lay aside the old ways of living and embrace His ways of love, forgiveness, humility, and peace.
"If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. "For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. - Luke 9:23-24 NKJV
One of the greatest steps we can take in following Jesus is to lay down the weight of unforgiveness, bitterness, and strife. Just as Christ has freely forgiven us, we are called to forgive others and refuse to give strife a place in our hearts or relationships. Like Abraham, who chose peace over contention, we can choose to walk in love rather than hold on to offense. Following Jesus means letting go of what weighs us down and choosing His ways over our own. As we walk daily with Him, we discover the freedom, peace, and fullness of life He has called us to live.
