What person can you follow without ever being lost?
I’m sure many of you know the answer already - Jesus. But I was pondering that tonight and I was hit by the sheer magnanimity of that statement. Life is hard. Complicated. And wrought with challenge after challenge. Possibly hundreds of choices everyday, leading to infinite outcomes. That is a TERRIFYING thought without Him. (Pause and really ponder your life for a moment…)
I am overwhelmed thinking about not having Jesus to follow. 😭 Think of all the people without the sure ability to follow Him without fear, knowing how good He is? How safe He is? How sure and faithful and loving and saving He is. That no matter how many times I mess up, He will always right me. 😮💨 Without finding fault or getting angry or condemning me. And without ever leaving me alone to fend for myself - either physically or emotionally. Life is difficult with Him. It’s impossible… doesn’t even exist truly without Him, that’s just living Hell.
Anyways, I was hit with the vastness of this seemingly simple thought and wanted to share it. I also cannot imagine how many people tonight do not have that hope, and even more with all the heavy things going on right now. And we are covered in the hope and peace of Jesus that comes not from this world - but only directly from being in Him and loved by Him.
