If asked, I will say, "Yes, I believe in The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit, and His Word". I believe in these with all that I am, but do I 100% of the time "walk His talk"?
Unfortunately, "No".
I do try.
I am so thankful for His grace, mercy, and forgivness in the times that I slip. When I am focusing on self, rather than Him.
When I get in the way of Him.
Each and every day I pray that He will use me. And each and every day He does. Even when I slip - He uses that for His glory. It isn't that I want to be lifted up for all to see, I find that He is changing me from the inside out. I want my life to be for His glory - not mine.
I pray each and every day that He will convict me when I am not "walking His talk". When I feel that I need to seek revenge, stand up in defensiveness when wronged, to feel sorry for myself and attend the "mepityparty". The times that I act on the feelings of doing it my way, regardless of who or whose feet I trample upon.
Even when they are God's feet.
When I picture myself walking "my" talk, I see much slipping, falling, stumbling, sliding around. It is totally uncontrolled - no matter what I hang onto, how hard I try. There is not a graceful rhythm about my steps. There is only destruction. Much like a new snowfall that has the mark of an animal fight - their steps and blood have destroyed its' purity, its' beauty.
I pray that when I "walk His talk" the new snowfall of life holds the pattern of a graceful dance.
That the untouched snow surrounding our steps reflect His light - sparkling as diamonds in the sun.
His Son.
