Aug 10.00: Light For The Day - "Discipleship"

-- John 13:35
"All people will know that you are my disciples
if you love each other."

Watch a small boy follow his dad through the snow. 
He stretches to step where his dad stepped. 
Not an easy task. His small legs extend as far as
they can so his feet can fall in his father's prints.

The father, seeing what the son is doing, smiles and
begins taking shorter steps, so the son can follow.

It's a picture of discipleship.

In our faith we follow in someone's steps. 
A parent, a teacher, a here - none of us are the
first to walk the trail. All of us have someone
we follow.

In our faith we leave footprints to guide others. 
A child, a friend, a recent convert. None should
be left to walk the trail alone.

It's the principle of discipleship.

-- Max Lucado

Prayer:
Father, it's with earnestness that we come to you,
asking you to open our hearts and let the drafts
of heaven come inside. Thank you for the great
blessing you're given us in allowing us to come
to you in prayer and stand in your presence.

-- John 8:31-32
"If you continue to obey my teaching, you are
truly my disciples. Then you will know the truth,
and the truth will make you free."
