Day 317
She lives through her love teachings. The truth smothers and brings pain, it leads her through a tangled mess. His hand is holding and guiding her, her sight is dull though her faith is alive. She has been called to walk out love in a world that knows not. She does this for Him. The path is so very narrow but her guide is massive. She feels his hand directing her back from treacherous cliffs, lifting her up and over dangerous, messy spots. He loves her. She adores Him.
This is no rose garden. She counted the cost. He has lovingly made it clear, serving Him means painful sacrifice. But He clears the path as He leads. She knows that serving Him means following. Where He is, she is. She knows His Father will honor her, this is the internal pull to follow and serve.*His all encompassing wisdom leads her to all truth. He is so lovely, so compassionate, so gracious, and abundantly full of mercy. Oh, He is beautiful. Yes, the way is narrow and the walk is lonely, but she can follow no other, for He fills the lonlieness with the essence of His all inclusive love and intimate friendship.
So she will continue to preach highly of Him. The thorny way is worth His hand in hers.
Dear Sister, your faithfulness and your life is an eloquent, anointed sermon. It is an honor to call you sister. You are an overcomer. We serve a Risen Savior!
Notes: * John 12:26
