Is there any other way to walk once you have the love of Jesus in your heart, in your soul, in your mind and body?
Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
Imagine if you will, going back to a specific childhood moment in time. A moment in time where you can recall that one day when you were out with your dad, you're little, and you reaching out to grab your dads hand. You make contact and feel his love, his strength and his gentleness as his hand wraps around yours. You are holding hands, walking and just talking about stuff.
You are holding the hand of the dad who loves you, who protects you, whom you love, whom you cherish and the one you look up to and is a role model for you in your life.
Can you imagine that feeling, right here and right now? I know I can.
That is the feeling that your Heavenly Father wants you to have about Him. For He loves you, protects you, lets you stumble when you need to learn about consequences, and protects you from untoward things happening in your life. When our choices go against His will, that is the learning of consequences. There may even be a course correction or discipline that occurs in your relationship with Him.
If you do not have an earthly father or had an unfortunately poor relationship with your dad, you don't have to look any farther than the Holy Bible to find a way to deal with those feelings and even Father figure to help you understand things in your life. Our Heavenly Father is a good, good Father.
Since giving my life to the Lord, 3 years ago at the time of this writing, I began an understanding of the written word of God, had conversations with Him and even began to understand His perspectives on so many things including murder and abortion.
Relating this next story about walking in love, although it is a story of my experience, shows just how much the Lord loves you.
A time ago, someone very close to me had been acting 'different' for more than a week. That is what you notice about someone, when you are discerning and have been around someone regularly for a long period of time. I started to notice this with strange phone calls, disrupted conversations, and altered mannerisms and suddenly an off putting personality. I knelt down to pray one afternoon after one of those 'different' interactions and asked the Lord, how can I help this person. The Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ told me that there was a forming child involved. Sadly, a child that was not wanted, and an abortion had been planned.
Shortly thereafter I went to this person and told the individual what God had told me what was going on. There was disbelief on my source of knowledge. Regardless, I spoke out of respect and love and presented my perspective based on biblical strengths, but it was too late.
Leaving from that interaction, and when alone again, I cried. I cried out of despair in a way that was of complete surprise to me. I cried out to God for forgiveness for the couple involved and their families. I cried out for God to give them both peace in their hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Then all of a sudden something happened.
Suddenly, I saw an image or vision of me, sitting on the lap of God. As I continued to cry in the vision, I was also crying in the natural, crying on the lap of God while He was holding me. Through the tears I noticed something that startled me in that it was so unusual or perhaps better said, unexpected. I became to feel and notice that God was also crying at the outcome for that pregnancy. Crying for the loss of one little sheep. His was a deep low crying, a profound sense of sadness that emanated from Him over that situation.
I came to realize right then and there, just how much the Lord God Almighty, how much He truly loves each and everyone of us and how much He grieves deeply when babies are taken. I can not describe the sense of deep care, and concern and love that I felt from Him in that moment in time. I remain humbled and will continue to be forever more humbled by that experience. God's love is enormous and profound.
Just start walking. Walk in Love as there is only one way to walk.
