Getting into CHrist's stride

Have you ever heard of someone walking in another person's footsteps or shadow? I've seen it, and I've experienced it. Many people said that I walked in my old youth pastor's footsteps and stayed in his stride when I was in high school because I was always with Todd, or doing something that Todd would normally be doing.
Genesis 5:24 tells us that , "Enoch walked with God"
What greater impression could we leave on people and what greater compliment could we recieve than that. For someone to say that we walk with God.
John 3:30 explains how we get to that point, "He must become greater; I must become less."
In order for us to walk with Christ, in order for anyone to say or feel like we walk with Christ we must get into this frame of mind. It's the epitemy of humility, it's throwing all pride out the door and truly walking with Christ. It's asking What would Jesus do in every situation, not just the ones that we can't decide on. It's having the true character of Christ, and not just the appearance.
Your true spiritual life is tested in what you do in the small times, in the seemingly insignifigant times of life, not when the lights are on and you're in front of everyone. People expect you to do the right thing then, it's when the little things are done right.
In order for Jesus to be seen in our lives, He must become greater and we must become less. It's interesting how this happens in the lives of those who truly seek Him. You start out living for Christ very deliberately, everything you do you are actually asking yourself what would Jesus do, how would He want me to act. Then, after years of this attitude it comes to the point where that is no longer needed. You realize that just asking that question sometimes shows your lack of humility, the fact that you are weighing out the flesh's decision against God's will for your life is pride at work. BUt, slowly but surely you come to the place where people comment on your actions in the small things and you don't even realize what you did. That is Him becoming greater while you become less. It's doing the little things well, and automatically without realizing it at all.
My motto for ministry has always been, "Every touch leaves and impression". With that in mind remember that every time you come in contact with someone, you are leaving a major impression on them, it's my hope that the impression left is Christ. That people feel touched by Christ when they are in contact with me, that is my #1 goal.
Have a great day and thanks for reading!
