In Whose Footsteps Do You Walk?

wp457 01 HW footprints1 20231103 800Most of us look up to someone. wp457 02 HW Ryan Gosling 20231103 800
Perhaps someone well known — wp457 03 HW Elton John star 20231103 800
even a star. wp457 04 HW Chinese theater1 20231103 800
Though I try to look directly towards God for inspiration wp457 05 HW handprint 20231103 800
I also look to others. wp457 06 HW Chinese theater lion 20231103 800
I have had several spiritual mentors over the years, wp457 07 HW cursive w feather 20231103 800
including nature. wp457 08 HW Chinese theater3 20231103 800
I have been set on fire many times by reading the words of saints and spiritual teachers from all walks of life. wp457 09 HW footprints2 20231103 800
And I’ve wondered how to fit my feet into the footprints of Jesus. I have asked the question: What would Jesus do? wp457 10 HW Chinese theater2 20231103 800
Jesus frequently responds: What would Love do?wp457 11 HW rooftop orange 20231103 800
Often, I don’t know. I’ve always thought I would understand Love’s answer quite easily, that Love is so obvious all decisions would be simple. Not so — but I will keep guessing as each day dawns anew.

The Masks We Wear

wp456 01 wax Ben Stiller 20231103 800We all wear masks at different times — put on a persona to fit into a situation or to fit in with a group of people. wp456 02 wax Bill Murray 20231103 800

Whichever mask you choose at any given time, make sure you remember to take it off because your real self is what this life is all about. wp456 12 wax Morgan Freeman 20231103 800
The truth of who you are, stripped clean, is the you God sees and loves. The unmasked you is perfect as is.
