RSVP

3“Do two walk together,unless they have agreed to meet? Amos 3:3

RSVP:  Respondez, s'il vous plait," which means “Please respond." I was given an RSVP the day Jesus knocked on my hearts door. Please respond Jesus asks. You can say yes or you can say no, but the creator of the universe desires a response when he knocks on your hearts door. This thought comes from Seth, don't know his last name. Never heard him before, but I listened attentively as he spoke. He read Amos 3:3 and I listened. Christianity is a walk with God. God gives an invitation to come and walk with him. It is a relationship. As we walk with him, we talk and sometimes we just listen. After all, he is creator God. How can we walk with him unless an invitation is given. How would we know where to meet him. God tells us, meet him at the cross. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. That is how we start this walk with God. A lot (about 90%) of what God says he says through his word. How can he talk to us unless we read his word?  Psalm 119 is an interesting but long read about understanding and learning God's commandments, his precepts, his way, his statutes. God sets the pace as we walk with him. He tells us how to live in this walk with him. When I walk with Barbara, it seems a lot of times I walk faster and I have to slow down. Or just the other day on the way into Walmart, Barbara was walking fast, it was raining. I got behind and she turned around and looked to see where I was. I wasn't beside her and as I stepped into the store both feet when out from under me and I was on the floor.  God is like that. When we walk with him, and he looks around and don't see us, he looks for us. When we fall, he is there to help us up as we walk with him. Creator God sends the invitation when he knocks on our hearts door. He tells us where to meet him as we start this walk, at the cross. He sets the pace, as we walk beside him, through his word as we learn of him, he tells us how to walk. He is there to pick us up as we fall when we walk. God gives us an RSVP, please respond. Tell me yes or no will you walk with me, asks God?  God bless, LVZ.
