One foot in front of the other. When we walk we take a step which moves the body forward and then the next foot begins to lift to pick up where the other left behind. Walking demonstrates the momentum that our lives can take when we begin to move in a direction, even just the slightest. In life we are always walking toward something. The question that God places in our hearts is, is where we are walking today? Towards love or a lack of love? Whenever I have had to walk away from something I would find myself focusing on the loss of what I left behind. Today it is more about what I am walking towards instead of away from. It is easier to see where I am going when I am looking in front of me instead of behind me. All things begin and end. A walking away means that I am free to walk towards something else. Since our daily dates began years ago I have felt more profoundly a sense of loss when I walk away from something and a sense of excitement as I walk toward something. Our dates have awoken in me an aliveness of the validity of all experiences. When I walk with God life holds more mystery, uncertainty, and fascination but I never have to do it alone. Walking with God means connecting and letting go and growing from it all.
My prayer for us is to take God up on an offer to go walking today.
