THE LONGEST WALK

Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:  Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.”

John 19:16-18
King James Version

Several years ago, I was very very sick with the flu.  It took me ten minutes to walk from my bedroom to my office so I could type my devotion for the next day because I was so dizzy.  I thought about not doing the devotion and then I remembered how far Jesus walked for me when He was crucified and I kept walking even though I had to hold on to the walls to keep from falling.

When God gave me the ministry of writing devotions, I promised Him I would do a devotion every day if He would help me.  Does this make me a wonderful person.  No, it just means I love God and want to do all I can do to make Him happy.  It is a privilege to serve Jesus after all He has done for me.

When I think of the many miles Jesus walked for me and how He shed His precious blood on the cross so I can have my sins forgiven, my heart is filled with love and appreciation for our wonderful Saviour.  Yes, Jesus walked many miles for you and for me.  May God help us to give Jesus the first place in our heart, in our time and in everything we do.
