Following the leader, the leader... the leader!

 

 

 

 

It's a game we all know how to play.

 

The leader walks to the left and everyone else follows him.

 

The leader walks in a circle, they follow.

 

I have a question for you.

 

Who are you following?

 

Often times, we follow the people we spend most time with. That is probably why when I first gave my heart to the Lord on March 15th, 2006, the woman who prayed the sinner's prayer with me, told me to tell my friends I got saved and to not spend anymore time with people who will bring me down.

 

That was the best counsel and advice I received. The group of people I spent my time with were not Christians. When I told them I got saved, they all looked at me like I was crazy.

 

Crazy, I am.

 

Crazy for Jesus!

 

Back to following the leader.

 

Who are you following?

 

And better yet, who are you leading? And where are you leading them?

 

As a parent, I know that how I talk, act, and react is likely how Raylea will talk, act, and react.

 

I want her to always be a godly girl. I want her to see Jesus in me.

 

That's my main goal in life, is to be a good example, to be Christ-like to not only strangers, but to those who live with me every day of my life.

 

I am following my husband.

 

I chose to follow him.

 

He leads me right.

 

He leads me in Truth, and he leads me to Christ.

 

I am so blessed to have a husband who leads me correctly.

 

I have some great friends. I know I am in a position, being much older than some of them, that I am able to lead them. Surprisingly though, some of those young friends of mine have lead me at times!

 

Then I have friends who are 45 years older than me, I lead them some days and some days they lead me. The idea is that we are helping each other in this life and leading each other towards Christ.

 

What I am trying to get at, is that you are leading someone and you are following someone.

 

Make sure that whoever you're following is in line with Christ, and make sure you are in line with Christ because many people are following you, whether you see it or not.

Make sure whoever you're following is following Christ.

And make sure you are following Christ, because whether you like it or not, someone out there is following you. Even if you don't see it.

 

So, check yourself.

 

Ask God for His help. I promise He will give it to you.
