Thank you, Linda. Very well said. Each day is such a gift, one we more often than not choose to throw away rather than use it to glorify God.

Thank you for this post. I'm so grateful to have stumbled across this tonight while searching for, "humility and peace". Literally, and figuratively.

For myself, and many others I'm sure, years and even decades pass without the acknowledgement that every single day offered to us is the greatest gift imaginable. These points you make-- I see them as interlocking keys to a life of wholeness and joy. How easy it is to seek fulfillment with so many trivialities.

What a poignant message you leave with the reader:

"Remember all that you are is simply on loan from God; be humble. Wherever and whenever possible, live in peace with your family, your neighbors, and all those with whom you come into contact. Live a life modeled after Jesus, the life He intended for you to live; be humble and truthful always, living peacefully with everyone."

Thank you, again.

Peace in Christ

Re: The Curse of Mediocrity

The double curse of busyness! Remember Jesus said His yoke was easy and His burden was light. When we are stressed (I'm a fellow sufferer far too often), we need to look at what we've added onto Jesus in our lives. He is light and full of rest and peace. What have we allowed to crowd Him out? Easier said than done, but I find it to be a necessary reflection. In fact it's one I need to do right now!

I have this curse. I think I acquired it from living a high stress lifestyle.

I have enjoyed your blog. Came across it a few weeks ago. It helps to keep me focused on whats True in the Kingdom of God. It keeps me open to correction by the Holy Spirit and Gods word. I am better for it. Therefore ...Dont stop writing as God reveals His heart to you. May God bless you in ALL areas of your life. K.S

Thank you for the encouraging note Craig! And please do pray for me. Pray for all believers to live as true disciples and wholly devoted to Christ. We do indeed have a host of angels ready and willing to fight for the Kingdom. We need only believe and engage. Thanks again brother. You both are a blessing to me!

Good morning Tim!! Great topic!
I once thought, "what does Jesus see and think when He looks down from Heaven on this world?" and after a minute of picturing that in my mind, I started to sob like a newborn baby. How sad God must be.
But like I've learned, no one comes to the Cross through intellectual enlightenment. "No one can come to Me unless the Father draws him." Why did Jesus prayed? I think it's that we have at our disposal, as followers, a Heavenly host of Angelic beings ready to do battle in places that have been strongholds for the Enemy. Mary and I will be praying for you Tim because you are strong in the Faith, ready to receive those who are released from the binds of darkness. Be of good cheer knowing that there are things that need to happen that will not be easy to see. Stay in prayer and be filled with the Spirit. We love you!!

Amen, I am trying to arrange to volunteer in the GTA, Ontario area in Canada. Prayers for strength going in please, and prayers that HOPE is brought in through Jesus to all those that feel forgotten or abandoned! The gospel saves, and we need to know it and spread it! I hope the following verse is confirmation to anyone who is thinking about going into places and serving others who are forgotten, it is from 1 Corinthians 12:21-25: “The eye cannot say to the hand, ‘I don’t need you!’ And the head cannot say to the feet,
‘I don’t need you!’ On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it.
Let us see NO ONE as being too far from God's reach and grace!

Be encouraged loved ones.

That's so cool, Craig! I agree; I think Satan has delighted in eroding the family. The evidence is rampant. Blessings to you brother!

Re: Reorienting Your Life

Craig — Mon, 24 Apr 2017 07:31:28 -0000

This is a great topic Tim! I often wondered, as I was growing up, what the Devil had in mind for the extended work-week. It was to take away from us the gathering together as a family and celebrating who we are in Christ. I have recently made some adjustments to my career path in order to accommodate the type of life we used to enjoy in this country and we are looking forward to getting back to basics.
God Bless!!

Re: The Privilege of Serving Christ

Suzan Blayze DeCendlove — Thu, 23 Feb 2017 01:10:43 -0000

" Nothing compares to pleasing the object of your affection. The problem is too often, the object of our affection is our self.".....I could not have expressed how I feel any better than what you've written in this post. Every..Last..Word. I thank God for the Internet, where I can Google the words "privilege of walking alone with Christ"....and the first site my eyes fall upon, I get another privilege!!....to read the words of a soul after His soul, that has expressed how I feel better than my own feeble attempts......I won't deny the pain my heart feels right now as I walk this lonely road of rejection and misunderstanding, but He, our Precious Redeemer, has brought me to the point where I no longer cry out "why has this happened to me?!...No man cares for my soul!!".....Instead, I cry out "Give me more grace to carry this Privileged Cross, so I can show eternity how grateful I am that LOVE Himself has looked upon me!!"

Hi Craig and Mary! Your comment is both inspiring and humbling. I also read a lot from older authors. Lately I'm reading much from Andrew Murray and always am reading Tozer as well as early Church fathers. The truth seems so much unfiltered from them, so untainted by our "American Dream" version of Christianity. Your comments are spot on with what I have experienced as well. Thanks so much for your encouragement and for standing together with all of us who seek nothing more than to proclaim the name of Jesus to a dark, troubled, and dying world.

Re: Casual Christian

Hi Tim!
Greetings from New Jersey!
My wife Mary and I look forward to and enjoy reading and sharing every new blog-post from "Even if I Walk Alone".
When we discuss Christ and salvation with others, even in Church sometimes, we find that there is an ever present and proliferant air of disbelief throughout this land of ours. I've been reading some older books lately (the older, the better it seems) and I'm personally convinced that in comparing the attitudes and thought processes of people from the past 400-500 years, the Devil has carefully concocted the world system we currently live in so that people in masses could be or would be fooled into a false sense of security. After all, who needs to be saved when you have a Masrercard or a home equity line of credit, right? 'Everybody's "good" with how things are' is what we hear when we speak to others about coming to Church, yet most of the young people we know are either in some very difficult situations or are running head-long into a new one due to the absence or ignorance, in some cases, of the most basic Biblical principles.
We thank God for His Holy army of prophets; people like yourself, wielding the Sword which is the Word of God in this relentless war for the souls of those who haven't even a clue as to what they need to be saved from.
We pray that you will continue strong in the Holy Spirit and continue to fight The Good Fight! We will be praying that God, who calls people, will call all those who we pray for and ask that they be saved.
Be blessed Tim!
Craig and Mary Villa

Re: Obedience is the Test of Love

Tim Sherfy — Tue, 05 Jul 2016 20:25:11 -0000

Wendy - please know I have not mastered this either. This is the goal. It is what our daily intention should be. As you said, Jesus is the Master healer. He knows we will fall, but He is ever patient to pick us up, dust us off, and lead us back to the path.

Re: Disciplined Intention

Tim Sherfy — Tue, 05 Jul 2016 20:20:36 -0000

Okay, so a little clarification. Yes, we all need a break to recharge. And you probably need it more than most if you spend your day herding children! My implication here is to not take a moment away from swimming in the depth of God's love. Recognize He is surrounding you and never fail to focus on His presence. I haven't mastered this. I have my moments where I just need to collapse, but honestly those are the perfect times to just worship Him. Our culture tempts us to waste away our days absorbed in selfish and mindless pursuits. That's what I am warning against. And Jesus definitely relaxed, but if you notice it was always in the context of His mission or to get away and just be with His Father. Does that help, or do you still think I'm crazy? :)

Thanks Wendy, always great to know you are out there! I hope you are living an amazingly free life of independence in Jesus!

Hi Wendy... I am not a pastor but I do love my band of readers! :) I am simply a writer who is passionate about first living a life of absolute surrender to God, then instructing and encouraging others to do the same. My Dad is a retired pastor, so I am honored by your question!

Ok you're saying no days off? I need to take breaks... I work in education with little kids & I'm exhausted .. This is my first break in 5 wks before that break, I hadn't had one in 5 months. I work 1 full time job & 2 part time jobs & I am in school. I think I read of Jesus relaxing in one or 2 Scriptures.
