I desire to follow in His footsteps.
'I will follow the Lamb.'
[My Confession by Misty Edwards]
... What an odd-sounding statement.
Aren't lambs supposed to follow?
He is the Shepherd and and the Lamb.
[Regardless...]
His path is narrow.
Uneven.
Rocky.
Sandy.
But it is well-traveled.
And we have a beautiful Guide to call out to if we stray off the path and need help.
He is the Navigator.
The Compass.
The Light.
The Retriever.
He is Power.
Strength.
Boldness.
He is a risk-taker, even.
I can rest in Him. Take heart and courage... find peace. Yet He also comes to rest in me - His garden. I am His lovely dwelling place. And like any garden gives me joy, I give Him joy and delight.
'The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" '
