Living for Jesus

~ DeborahMarie

Nearly 35 years ago, I made a commitment to walking daily, and have done a pretty good job at keeping that commitment. I love walking with friends, by myself, or with my dog, Callie Marie.  Callie is 12 years old and is a walking machine!  She’s smart, too.  Sometimes, I think she knows I am going on a walk even before I do!

I enjoy listening to praise music or podcast preaching while I’m walking, and when I’m by myself, I spend a lot of time talking to God.  Many times, during my walk, He inspires me with the next thing He wants me to write about.  I prefer walking outdoors, but I’m not picky.  In the winter months, I walk in the mall when it’s too cold.  I rarely turn down a walk when a friend calls.  Just like Callie Marie, I’m always up for a walk.

The Lord, convicts me daily that I am to be as diligent and disciplined in my spiritual walk as I am in my physical walk. He reminds me I am to walk ~

  • By faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7)
  • In integrity (Proverbs 10:9)
  • In His statutes (Leviticus 26:3)
  • In the Spirit (Galatians 5:25)
  • Wisely (Ephesians 5:15)
  • Humbly (Micah 6:8)
  • In the Light (John 12:35)
  • According to His commandments (2 John 1:6)
  • In a way that pleases God (1 Thess. 4:1)
  • In truth (Psalms 86:11)
  • In the same manner, as Jesus walked (1 John 2:6)
  • In good works (Ephesians 2:10)
  • In love (Ephesians 5:2)
  • In a manner worthy of my calling (1 Thess. 2:12)

Walking in truth, integrity, faith, etc., means  “living” for Jesus, which isn’t hard to do, if you enjoy pleasing Him, and I do. 😊

I'm a child of Jehovah God, a wife, and mother. My inspiration to write comes from the Word of God, and the goal of my writing is to influence people to follow after Jesus Christ. If just one person comes to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, I will have accomplished what I set out to do. The name of my blog comes from knowing that God has been faithful to me, and I want to testify to His faithfulness! Lamentations 3:22-23 "The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each morning." ~Blessings!
