The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you. At every turn you will find a new path laid out before you. I Am the One who directs your way and it is your obedience that sends you on the path I have opened. Your obedience pleases Me, for it puts My will ahead of your own. I never said it would be easy, but that it would ultimately bring My glory before those around you and give you opportunity to share My love with them. When you see a neighbor outside and you stop to spend time with them just catching up on life, I Am there amongst you and by your example their hearts are edified and encouraged. This is showing My love to them as I have commanded you. The greatest of all commandments is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind, and the second is like it, to love your neighbor as yourself. This is the foundation of all My Word to you. As you walk the path I have before you, this leads to actively showing this love, then the world is better for it as hearts are softened. Showing My love is the true mark of a child of Mine.
Matt 22:34-40 (ESV) But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
