Your going for a walk with Jesus today
Writing the journal was easier than I thought it would be. I was reflecting on some of the people I met today. All members of the Church of Scotland but with completely different ideas regarding the shape of the church. How easy it is for us to want Jesus to make us feel comfortable.
Oh yes you'll be going for a walk with Jesus at some point today. I mean those of you who have signed up for the C 40 challenge ( text Bible 40 to 80806 you'll get your instructions) Anyway lookout for the Jesus connection today. John Eldridge, in Walking With God", lays out an inspiring book in which he gives so many practical tips in how to keep your journal up.
Believe me Jesus will just turn up today in the converstion and invite you to go for a walk with him. it might mean you take your leave of someone, because he'll be standing waiting for you on the outside of the circle. Just think how cool that is going to be. Your going to be able to spend quality time with Jesus. The one thing to remember is to be sure to listen to him. Let him do the talking. there is a brilliant story in Luke 24.15 where it says the disciples were disappointed they were on the way home they thought jesus had ignored them. Something happened Jesus turned up and spent the rest of the day with them. that meeting changed their lives and their faith. So make sure you take your time out today to go for the walk. Our verse today says "Jesus drew near to them" You know something he is closer to you right now than you can ever imagine.
