Walking with God

Dear sisters,

 

    I feel fired-up today. Hope you do as well.

    Today I thought of Enoch, remember him? The Bible says in Gen 5:24

 

Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.

 

   I thought: wow that 's so awesome. What a way to go to heaven! He must have been someone who enjoyed walking with God and I think even more, God must have enjoyed walking with him. I hope I can be walking with God the way Enoch did as well.

 

   I knew God when I was 8. Many times, when I looked back, I see how close I was to God when I was younger. I was so much more childlike. I remembered how I used to close the toilet door in dad's room, kneeling down in sincere prayer, not wanting anyone to see because God says that " When we pray, we should not be like the pharisees" and " God will reward what is done in secret"

 

   I also remembered how I used to pray every night, and always ending up with the same prayer from saving family, relatives to saving the whole world. During those days, there was no asking of glory. I did not even feel I was "good, awesome" doing all these. Everyhing was done because I truly walked with God.

 

   Now, even if I were to do something for God in secret, there is an element of how good I am.

 

   O how I desire to start walking closer to God again.
