O, Israel Serve the Lord Your God
The first section of Heartfelt Meditations, Come Follow Me, looks at a diverse selection of scriptures that can illustrate for followers of Christ how we should seek after our Lord and Savior. Also how we are to live our lives in Christ and that how we are to grow and mature in Christ, that we might as followers, understand the way to walk and follow after Christ so that we may be able to, and strive to become more Christlike. For this is what we are called to do in everything we do and in every aspect of our walk with Christ as His followers.
To Follow Me
In following You I must deny myself
If any person: wants to seek after Me and seek My face,
wants to come to know Me,
longs and thirsts for Me.
You must put Me first in your life:
give up things of this world and things
that are of you,
put aside things that matter to you,
acknowledge other and put them above you.
You must focus on things that are of God.
I must take up my cross
I must do whatever is asked of me; the task You ask of me:
may not be easy, or not fun, or something I do not like;
I may not wish or want to do it or know,
it is what You would have me do and for my
life - I must take up the task at hand -
this a choice for me to make daily.
I will do Your will and shall take up my cross up every
day and I shall walk with You daily all throughout my life.
and follow You
I should follow You: wherever and whenever You lead,
in whatever You ask of me,
it does not matter how or why,
and no matter what I will,
all the days of my life.
Saving my life is to lose it
On earth if I: wish to do my will,
choose to follow my own way,
am worried about preserving and
protecting myself,
I will lose my eternal life.
In losing my life for You, my life will be preserved in heaven
On earth if I: wish to do my Father's will,
choose to follow You and Your ways,
am concerned about saving others and
seeing "My kingdom come" and be fulfilled,
I will have gained my eternal life.
For at what cost should I gain the world if to just lose myself
What is there in having everything if I lose everything?
What is worthy of obtaining on earth that I would die for?
Why should I settle for so much less when I can have
everything?
What is the value in losing myself while trying to gain
the world?
To be embarrassed of You and Your words
For if any person: rejects or denies You,
does not acknowledge You,
ignores Your words,
rebukes or disputes Your words,
does not take heed or adheres to
Your words.
For when the Son of Man in all of His and His Father's glory
comes with the holy angels, for He shall also be ashamed of
him.
When I come I will:
not accept or admit those who rejected and
denied Me,
not recognize who did not acknowledge Me,
not lift up who would not listen to My words,
not substantiate to those who rebuke and dispute
My words,
not tolerate those who did not embrace Me
and My words.
When I come, it will be in My glorified state and with My
Father and all of His holy host of angels.
Inspired by Luke 9:23 – 27
(NKJV)
Do Not Look Back
The words of my Lord
My Master was speaking,
I should always pay attention when He speaks.
I should always listen to my Master's words.
No one who chooses to follow Me
Once I:
believed in and trust in You,
accepted You in my life as my Lord and Savior,
committed to following You; thus I have agreed
to Your work and Your Father's work and
I will not look back.
What is what and it is what it is
I am to have: no regrets or longings from my past life,
no "I wishes,"
I must keep my eyes on You and looking forward or
how will I know where to go?
how will I see which way or direction You have for my life?
How would I know what to avoid to keep me from
veering off from the task at hand if I were not
looking forward?
Thus I will not look back!
Or I will have no place with You my Savoir and Lord
If I were to look back I have no place in Your kingdom,
If I do not look to You, You can not help me, your daughter,
If I do not see You and the direction You have for me
and my life,
You can not lead me.
Then I will not see the work You are leading me to do.
If I look back I am focused on other things instead of
You and what is important.
I bother not with anything else other than You and
Your kingdom; this is what will happen if I was to
look to the past.
Thus I will not look back!
Inspired by Luke 9: 62
(NKJV)
Walking with You, My Lord God
Good has been shown to me by You, my Lord God
You, Lord God have demonstrated and shown me
things that You want for me Your daughter
and Your children.
You, Lord God are good to Your children and to the
men of Israel;
You have shown Your goodness to Your children.
In that, Your goodness, You have given Your: provision,
strength,
will,
laws,
principles,
attributes
and character.
You have shown me how to live a good and godly life
before You and man that would be pleasing before
You in Your sight.
What is required
You tell me what is required of me, Your daughter,
You have given me Your commandments for me to follow,
You have given and shown me Your principles
for me to live by.
Act just
I must honor You my Lord God and Father,
I am to do right and live righteously,
I shall conduct myself and my affairs fairly and honestly,
I will be truthful in everything in my life for the truth shall
set me free always.
I must live my life in the pursuit of executing the many
faces of Lady Justice.
Be merciful
I shall love being merciful,
I should strive be a giver of mercy, grace, and forgiveness
and not hold grudges and stay angry but will forgive
and let go I shall live my life in a mercy filled way;
by loving the Lord my God,
striving to love my sisters and brothers in You, neighbors
and my fellow man and living my life in a loving manner
with mercy and compassion.
Have humility
In my walk with You my Lord God will:
respect, honor You my Lord,
have a grateful heart giving many thanks,
a modest spirit that is not filled with pride
as I walk with you My Lord God but filled
with acknowledgement and adoration.
May the confidence that I find in You always point back
to You, my Lord God.
I will strive to live my life as a gracious and generous
servant for God.
This is what the Lord requires of you and me,
how we are to live our lives,
what has been shown to us by our Lord God,
and how to walk with our Almighty God,
and what is good in the eyes of the Lord our God.
Let us walk with our God by:
doing justly,
showing love,
being merciful,
walking humbly with our God,
keep walking on with God,
Let us keep doing the walk all the days
of our lives with our Lord God!
Amen!
Inspired by Micah 6: 8
(NKJV)
