Such is the call laid before all
seekers after truth in every age. It is a call to embark on a great journey,
a pilgrimage of discovery, a spiritual quest.
At every
step of that quest you will have the promise that the Living God will be walking with you.
It is
no little thing to embark on a voyage that is going to take the rest of your life and whose final destiny is eternal rather
than temporal.
You
must count the cost. To follow Christ requires the restructuring of your whole
life. You need to develop a love for Him that makes all other loves in your life
seem like mere shadows in comparison to His light.
You
must go with the flow of wherever this journey will lead. There will be joys
and tears, victory and frustration.
Along
the road you will find many companions. Some will be fair weather friends, but
others you will grow to love enough to die for.
And
all the time your focus must be Jesus Christ. Under the influence of His Spirit,
the bible will become words of God that strike you at the core of your being.
