You Follow Me

I was reading from the book of John Chapter 21, verses 22-25. Verse 22 especially captured my thoughts. 

"Lord, what about this man?" Peter asked. 

Jesus replies, "If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you? You follow me."

Peter and others ponder this, but John recalls that Jesus said, "If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you?"

YOU follow me.... regardless of the choices others make or the paths others choose or are given. You follow me.

Our paths are unique. God gives us each our own journey. Now, these journeys may intertwine with others, but we each have a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and life-long purpose before our Lord.

It's so very interesting to see how God works thing out in us and through us. If only we are willing and yield to His command, "You follow me."
