Follow Me Child Religious Footer


Follow me, Child, He told me, When the way is so dark that you see what surrounds you, so dark you, cannot thread your way through the numerous pitfalls of life, Follow me, child, because I am the Way, the truth, and the life. Come after Me every day whenever there is a cross to shoulder. Look down into my tracks. Observe My footprints: how they are stained with blood; blurred and show signs of dragging feet. You see, I was staggering badly from dehydration and from being savaged in many different ways. You will see bloodied knee prints, too, where I fell under the terrible weight of My Cross. Follow me, child, Track your cross after mine, When you look into My into My footprints as you shoulder your cross, you will be encouraged and strengthened by the reminder that I became like you in everything except sin. In fact, I extended myself far beyond simple identity with you. For you, I willingly became a victim of disgrace, torture and brutal crucifixion. When your way is thorny, follow me child, Look at the path which I have broken ahead of you. As you are pricked and irritated by your thorns along My way - pieces splintered from My Crown by the sticks and spears which beat Me on the way to Calvary. The more you visualize My Crown of Thorns, the more tolerable and meaningful yours will become along your personal way of the cross. Follow Me, child, Do not let the awful ache of loneliness defeat you as you bear your cross, at times seemingly so all alone. Remember that I had to walk this lonesome valley alone and that, because I walked it alone, you don't ever have to be alone.Follow me, child, with the full realization that you are never alone in whatever you do, because I am with you at all times. When you feel yourself pressed to the breaking point, torn by anxieties, numbered by deadly fears, paralyzed by dreaded anticipation, pushed beyond discouragement to the threshold of dispair, oozing huge beads of sweat to the point of blood, just come after Me through the Garden of Gethsemani. Watch Me, child, and all your anxieties will soon fall into their proper focus. Follow Me, child, When you feel the venom and physical abuse of your fellow humans, count the ugly furrows in My back dug out by cruel Roman whips. Contemplate how the rough leather studded with pieces of metal tore huge gashes in My Flesh in order that your flesh might be healed and in order that you might learn to weather your sufferings in union with mine. When you feel covered with disgrace, when you feel slighted by those distant from you as well as by those near to you, follow Me, child, When you are rebuked and scorned, whether justly or unjustly, follow Me and witness My cloak of disgrace, My crown of desertion, My face smeared with spit, and my ears ringing with jeers, curses and profanities of those who hate me. Follow Me, child, No matter how much evil you have done, follow Me to Calvary. There you will see that I promised and delivered paradise to a criminal who turned to Me as his Savoir in the waning moments of his life. Follow Me, for it is never too late to turn around so long as you draw the breath of life. When at length you have worked through all crosses in life, follow Me to Calvary, child. From there you can see an empty tomb which I borrowed for a few days. That empty tomb is My guarantee to you that the abundant life which I gave you will never end.
