Continue to Follow
And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. – Colossians 2:6 NLT
Listen
We have to have a perpetual desire to want to know the Lord better, to know His heart and revelation of His love for us.
So often we think accepting Jesus as our Lord and saviour, is enough and by doing so we’ll go to heaven, our past is forgiven and that this is all that’s there to it.
But no, the scripture above says we must also continue to follow Him in this journey on a daily basis.
The Lord wants to draw our hearts after Him, to get into a lifetime relationship of committing ourselves to follow Him.
Walking with God is not just a story or religious outcome, it is something we can experience as a physical tangible relationship with this supreme God who saved us on the cross.
So often we have this tendency of experiencing the blessings that come with following God and then just go about our own lives. But Apostle Paul tells us we must still continue to follow and chase after His heart.
Let’s not be satisfied where we are or be stagnant in the love we have for God in our hearts.
We love Him because He first loved us, so if His love for us is not evoking a natural response to love Him back, then there is a problem in our revelation of His love for us.
Jesus died on the cross for the whole world, but it’s not the whole world that is going to make it to Heaven but those who respond back to His love and follow Him is going to make it to Heaven.
Let us follow Him into an intimate garden-experience of a relationship with God.

Feel For Him
Acts 17:27 (GNT)
He did this so that they would look for him, and perhaps find him as they felt around for him. Yet God is actually not far from any one of us.
Lock the Door
Matthew 23:13 (GNT)
““How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You lock the door to the Kingdom of heaven in people’s faces, but you yourselves don’t go in, nor do you allow in those who are trying to enter!”
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
