"Grant it, Jesus,if you please
"Daily walking close to Thee
"Let it be, dear Lord, let it be."
We are not just walking with God, we are in Him, and He is in us!
"Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
"And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour." (Ephesians 5: 1-2)
We have to be "dear children" in order to walk in love.
We became children of God through the Spirit:
|
"For ye have not
received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of
adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
"The Spirit itself
beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
"And
if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be
that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together." (Romans 8: 15-17)
and
"And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your
hearts, crying, Abba, Father." (Galatians 4: 6)
Because we have been trasnformed into the Kingdom of His Son by the Spirit (Colossians 1: 13), we cannot help but walk with Him, for we are in Him:
"For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God." (Colossians 3: 3)
He also lives in us (Colossians 1: 27)
Therefore, this notion that we have to endeavor to walk with Jesus is based on a mistaken premise altogether.
Ever believer is a child of light (1 Thessalonians 5:5), and Christ Jesus is the Light of the world (John 8: 12), and as believers we are waking in the Light (1 John 1: 7).
Do not ask to walk closer, but rejoice that nothing can separate you from God in your walk with Him.
