Presently perched on my shoulders, is my head. Duh. With the constant struggle to keep 'my head' in check. How one goes through life, leading life, encouraging whole living without being or sounding prideful is a delicate balance. Citing examples of personal excursions and doings that bless others can be self-serving, and therefore overtly full of inappropriate pride...or, if done correctly, can encourage others to join in with similar acts and responses to our Lord, for His glory.
I suppose it's time to stop worrying about motives, and start leading life, following the Leader of Life, Jesus Christ. It is my desire, hope and motive that this blog is not self-serving, but self-exposing as one life follower of Jesus Christ, inspiring other lives to go and do, inspired and led not by this blog, but Christ and the Holy Spirit! I honestly want 'these footprints' to be of His leading, leading my life.
How does this happen? Only through prayer, constant communication with God, our lives an accurate testimony, and continuing story of Jesus Christ walking the face of this earth. I cover, as I hope you do to, these blogs with prayer and thankfulness for God's inspiration in each post. I also ask Him to allow those who may 'need' such encouragement to find bits and pieces of it here.
Some of you may wonder why I don't often 'pepper' this blog with scripture. For those of you who know scripture, it is 'peppered' with such, woven in the lines as applications of it. I have come to see that a life lived, immersed and bathed in scripture is demonstrated by the outcome of the life...the glory of God revealed in and through us daily, with ever increasing regularity.
As I see it, there is only one Leading Life, Jesus Christ, and if we let Him lead our lives, we will join in the leading of lives in such a manner that others become leaders of life. Sound familiar? Oh...Jesus called that 'making disciples'! Will you join me as a disciple of Christ and invite others to read, comment and join us in the the leading of lives to the only Leader of Life? This blog stands, I pray, as a testimony of one life, in directed obedience, seeking to inspire others to rise to His call. I really don't care if you jump on this blog and become a follower, but rather that you invest your life as Christ directs and walk, truly walk as His follower. He alone is our Leader of Life, who can change our world by using those who listen and follow The Leader.
