Follow Thou Me

When someone in your life is controlling and critical, what is that to thee? Follow thou me.

When your sister forgets to ask you about your life and your struggles in the long listing of her own, what is that to thee? Follow thou me.

When someone thinks they know what is best in your decision and does not understand your circumstances or choice or your wrestling to walk wisely, what is that to thee? Follow thou me.


When they scorn your faith and question your God, what is that to Thee? Follow thou me.

When others think you walk in joy only because your life is easy and you never struggle with discontentment, what is that to thee? Follow thou me.  

When others praise you for virtuous things, what is that to thee? Follow thou me.

For it is Christ. Not I. It is His glory. Not mine. And my duty is to walk in obedience to Him. And as I do that, I can rest. For I am following Him.
