Like Jesus

I want to walk like Jesus did
Beneath this earthly dome
Spreading truth hope and freedom to kin
Until our savior calls us home

I want to spread his gospel news
Of our father’s amazing Grace
And everyone to see the holy Spirit
When they gaze upon my face

I want to be a tailored copy
Of the life that Jesus led
Teaching of the eternal land
Make sure his sheep are fed

I want to be as the faithful Shepherd
Whose heart is pure and true
And tell the story of the mansions
They’ve built for me and you

I want to be like the righteous one
Who has no sweeter name
The Redeemer of all pardons
Hence is why he came

I want to nourish the hungry crowds
Maybe grant a dying wish
Do things that seem impossible
As he did with five loaves and two fish

I want to walk a true Christian Life
Flowing love along the way
And Jesus is the only one
We should edify and portray

But I could never walk like Jesus did
No greater man has no one saw
For when I see the Savior of the cross
From my heart to my knees I shall fall

Where Joseph Stood

On the night when Jesus was born, I wonder if Joseph prayed, “Father, this all seems so bizarre. The angel you sent? Any chance you could send another?”

You’ve stood where Joseph stood. Each of us knows what it’s like to search the night for a light. Not outside a stable, but perhaps outside an emergency room or the manicured grass of a cemetery. We’ve asked our questions. We’ve wondered why God does what he does. If you’re asking what Joseph asked, let me urge you to do what Joseph did: obey. He didn’t let his confusion disrupt his obedience.

What about you? You have a choice: to obey or disobey. Because Joseph obeyed, God used him to change the world. Can he do the same with you? Will you be that kind of person? Will you serve, even when you don’t understand?

Out on a Limb

”After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 1:18 NKJV).

Joseph was perched firmly on his branch in the tree. Predictable and solid, Joseph had no intention of leaving it. That is, until he was told to go out on a limb. “Conceived by the Holy Spirit? Come on! Who will believe me?” Pride told him not to do it, but God told him to do it.

Have you been called to got out a limb for God? I have a feeling you can relate to Joseph. One foot in your will and one foot in his. His or yours? Disrupting, isn’t it? You can bet it won’t be easy. Limb-climbing has never been. Ask Joseph. Or better yet, ask Jesus! He knows better than anyone the cost of hanging on a tree.
