“In His Steps” (#45)

Jesus came to Earth and showed us the way to live for God in our time here;
In thirty-three years, He gave the ultimate example of living for God in your life every year.
We are called as believers to follow in His steps, and honor God in everything we do.
We are to be imitators of Christ, and become more like Him, as we learn to live what is right and true.
We should be willing to lay down our lives as Jesus did when He died on the cross.
As He submitted to the Father, so we should submit to Him; in our lives as Christians, He should be the boss.
By humbling ourselves before Him, and giving up what we want here and now,
We will receive honor and glory from Him in Heaven, but it all depends on what we do now.
If you do not truly acknowledge in your heart that Jesus is your Savior and Lord,
You will never be able to truly live for Him; He knows every one of His followers, every loop in the cord.
So decide today which steps you will follow, those of Christ or your own;
I pray that you would follow the Lord, who created your spirit, flesh and bone.
