Walking in Obedience

Last week, I shared how God has been calling me to be faithful with my writing and to use my words to honor Him.

Today, I want to follow through on that obedience by sharing a poem that He placed on my heart. It’s a reflection on what it really means to be obedient to Christ.

Walking in Obedience

Walking with Christ isn’t easy.
It’s on you to say yes or no.
It’s an everyday choice to choose
which path you will follow.

It’s bearing the weight of your cross.
Surrendering wants while the Spirit leads.
Hearing, accepting, and embracing
the call to plant His seeds.

It’s trusting in His will.
Though His will may bring you pain.
It’s enduring through the suffering
for the perseverance you will gain.

It’s letting go without looking back,
Refusing to follow society’s way.
It’s seeking the Kingdom before all.
And deciding to submit and obey.

It’s remembering the blood He shed.
To offer forgiveness for our sins.
Honoring His sacrifice daily;
by listening to the Spirit within.

Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me” – Luke 9:23
