Walking in the Footsteps of Christ - Day 15

Day 15
Footsteps: Turmoil and strife, combat and competition; our world is full of the consequences of man dealing with man. But the Savior did not leave us alone. He taught us how to succeed in this mortal existence and how to have peace on earth and goodwill toward men.

"If ye love me keep my commandments. (John 14:15)
All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye so even to them. (Matthew 7:12)
Whosoever will be great among you...shall be servant of all. (Mark 10:43-44)
A new commandment I give unto you that ye love one another as I have loved you that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. (John 13:34-35)

Walking: Today treat everyone you meet with unconditional Christ like love.

Songs: Not Too Far From Here by Ty Lacey & Love Comes Back by Stephanie Mabey



Not Too Far From Here
Somebody's down to their last dime
Somebody's running out of time
Not too far from here
Somebody's got nowhere else to go
Somebody needs a little hope
Not too far from here
And I may not know their name
But I'm praying just the same
That You'll use me Lord to wipe away a tear
Cause somebody's crying
Not too far from here

Somebody's troubled and confused
Somebody's got nothing left to lose
Not too far from here
Somebody's forgotten how to trust
Somebody's dying for love
Not too far from here
It may be a stranger's face
But I'm praying for Your grace
To move in me and take away the fear
Cause somebody's hurting
Not too far from here


Help me Lord not to turn away from pain
Help me not to rest while those around me weep
Give me Your strength and compassion
When somebody finds the road of life too steep


Somebody's troubled and confused
Somebody's got nothing left to lose
Not too far from here
Somebody's forgotten how to trust
And somebody's dying for love
Not too far from here
Now I'm letting down my guard
And I'm opening my heart
Help me speak Your love to every needful ear
Someone is waiting not too far from here
Someone is waiting not too far from here




Love Comes Back
Sometimes we all feel like something's missing
And our days start to drag us down
There's an answer and if we'll listen
It's telling us peace is found
When we reach out 'cause

Love comes back
When we take care of each other
Just like that, it can
Lift the weight that we're under
There's always enough,
No way to give too much 'cause
Love comes back to us

Hey, you know that we all have moments
When we start to feel alone
But when we lift the ones around us
Suddenly doubt is gone
And we find hope 'cause

Love comes back
When we take care of each other
Just like that, it can
Lift the weight that we're under
There's always enough,
No way to give too much 'cause
Love comes back

And when we look beyond ourselves we find out
That we can help somebody else feel how

Love comes back
When we take care of each other
Just like that, it can
Lift the weight that we're under
There's always enough,
No way to give too much 'cause
Love comes back to us
Love comes back to us
Love comes back to us
Love comes back
