IF GOD WROTE YOU A LETTER
Follow me like a dog chases a scent. Passionately pursue my will and my way. Learn what I love and hunger for it. You don’t have to worry about living a sin-free life. Don’t focus on what you can’t do but be consumed with me, instead. Let me lead you. I am with you and have plans for you. I’d love for you to follow me. Your eyes will be opened to amazing things. Once you get a taste of what I offer, you will hunger for so much more. That’s the kind of relationship I want with you—one where you find satisfaction and hope and fulfillment.

Learn the power of a gentle word. Become a master at serving others, even those who resist or resent you. Be a person who brings hope and satisfaction. As water quenches thirst, be a cup of cold water to those you meet.

NEXT STEP
God knows your heart. Ask God to purify areas that need it so you can become more and more like Jesus. Ask a friend to pray for you and hold you accountable.
