Me:  What is on your mind Prodigal?

Prodigal:  I am thinking about Christ.

Me:  Me too, why don’t I share about him.

 

This is from the book The Imitation of Christ by Thomas Kempis

 

He that followeth me, walketh not in darkness, saith the Lord.  These are the words of Christ, by which we are admonished, how we ought to imitate His life and manners, if we would truly be enlightened, and delivered from all blindness of heart.  Let therefore our chiefest endeavor be, to meditate upon the life of Jesus Christ.

The doctrine of Christ exceedeth all the doctrines of holy men; and he that hath the Spirit, will find therein the hidden manna.  But it falleth out, that many who often hear the Gospel of Christ, feel little desire after it, because they have not the Spirit of Christ.  But whosoever will fully and with relish understand the words of Christ, must endeavor to conform his life wholly to the life of Christ.

 

I am learning to confirm my life to your obedience LORD.  It is a constant progress and journey.  I will be still working on this a year from now.  As the journey progress though it will be filled with a love and sweetness because my relationship with you will continue to grow.

 

John 8:36

So if the Son set you free, you will be free indeed.
