Prayer Walk

                        Grace be with you, mercy, and peace,

        from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,

                        Son of the Father, in truth and love.
    I rejoiced that I found thy children walking in truth,

         as we received a commandment from the Father.
                                  2 John 3-4 KJV

True Love is the Greatest Reality.

     I Will Always Be Who I Have Always Been—
          I have always loved you, and I always will .
     Truth personified walked the earth to show you the face of God.
     Compassion was never clearer than on a cross at Skull Hill.
     Unquestioningly obey My orders, and I will make Myself real to you.
     Think of Me—and find significance.
          Grace is My glory—unmerited favor sustains you.
               Sincerely rely on My power—walk with Me in every difficulty.

Trustworthy Love is the deepest rest.
     Restlessness gives way to rest when you spend time near My heart.
     Your small craft sails smoothly on high seas if you rely on the Captain.
     Keep your mind on Me, and you will discover incomprehensible peace.
     Seek the Victor’s help with moral battles, and despair will be defeated.
     Hopefully lean on Me, and I will grant you the pleasure of My company.
     Triumph in Me—and celebrate serenity.
          Peace is My gift—unparalleled freedom satisfies you.
               Sing My praises—walk with Me every hour to your last breath.

Tender Love is the highest rejoicing.
     I infinitely separate your sins from My throne—I forgive and forget.
     I am not out to hurt you—I do not deal with you as you deserve.
     I know you are dust—I also know your destiny.
     Prayerfully trust Me, and you can walk with Me through the judgment.
     Trust Me—and experience salvation.
          Mercy is My goodness—undeserved forgiveness saves you.
               Humbly follow Me—walk with Me through Heaven’s gate.

     Now, dear children, continue to live in fellowship with Christ so that when he returns,
                you will be full of courage and not shrink back from him in shame.
                                           1 John 2:28 NLT

Be captivated in your heart.
     Lovingly obey Me, and I will get personal with you—
          dear, not distant;  close, not cerebral;  Friend, not cold fact;
          Companion, not just a creed;  passion, not head-trip idea.
     Stay near My heart—and I will make Myself real to you.
 

Be Christlike in your actions.
     Back up adjectives with verbs—I do not want applause; I want surrender.
     Christlikeness is a moral imperative, not an ideal—a must, not an ought to.
     Walk in My steps—and I will reward you with My smile.
 

Be compassionate in your relationships.
     I am the God with a heart—be sure you have one too.
     Christian love is not based on feelings—it begins with a choice of your will.
     Follow My example—and I will bless you with My love.
 

Be celebrative in My Presence.
     Draw near Me, and joy will cascade through your inner being.
          My music teaches you to sing, My promises give you confidence,
          My grace strengthens your soul, My peace calms you in the hurricane.
     Learn My melody—and I will give you a full, rich life.
 

Be consecrated in My will.
     Sin thrills, then kills—obedience paves the road to heaven.
     Material things are transitory—invisible realities endure eternally.
     Treasure My friendship—and I will give you eternal life.
 

Be consistent in your devotion.
     Stay in step with the Way, keep faith in the Truth, enjoy liberty of the Life.
     Trust and obey Me, whatever happens—prove you are a real disciple.
     Keep traveling My road—and I will get you home.
