How would you live if you saw Jesus standing next to you every day? I'm talking about physically seeing Him tailing you all the way. Take a minute to think about this, walking next to The Lion through this wilderness. We live by knowing Jesus is with us, through our faith, but how would we behave if we saw Him constantly, face-to-face? I bet you we'll all behave different than how we normally do...just some scenarios of what I might do; I would stop what I'm doing and start spreading the truth, I would give a beggar with bare feet, my only pair of shoes, and give my last loaf of bread to those that have no food. I would start seeing the world in a whole new light, start looking at people through Jesus's eyes. I would fall down at His feet and praise Him, constantly be in conversation with Him, non-stop give all my attention to Him. This but only to mention a few, now think about what you would do. Frankly I'm ashamed of what I've just said, it feels like I'm up to my throat in regret. I'm prepared to live that life, when Jesus stands next to me; only when He stands where I can see. Why not now? Why not everyday? Instead I continue to make mistakes, then for forgiveness I pray... How do we continue to live like this; as if God is a blindfolded witness? God sees all, when we sin, when we fall, when we laugh, when we cry, when we achieve greatness or fail to try. No matter where we are, no matter what we do, The Lion walks next to me and you. We should hold on to God in this life, we should remove the masks behind which we hide. We should break down the walls that keep fear inside. No one has ever choked to death, by swallowing their pride. Make yourself less so that Jesus can be multiplied, live as if you see Him standing right by your side. You are never alone; Jesus is always there. Don't be afraid...
