Popular Phrases For My Walk With God

     As I sit underneath my “Friendly Shade” and wondered what I would write about for God, I decided to try my hand at using common, popular phrases just to see how they would apply to our walk with God.  Below are a few I came up with: 

When God gave us beauty on earth, it was “only the tip of the iceberg.”

When He promised us an eternal home, it goes “beyond our wildest dreams.”
When God inspired the written Word, He gave us the greatest Book ever written, “hands down!”

To witness for God, we must be willing to “go out on a limb.”
He’ll return in the blink of an eye just like “greased lightning.”

They say “you can’t judge a book by its cover,” but I say, people recognize a strong Christian walk with God, and you can "judge a book by its cover."

     I could go on and on but I must end with one last comment.  I am so very thankful that I had Christian parents who brought me up in the church, and I am not lost out in the world seeking something I cannot find like a “needle in a haystack.”  I am so glad that God does not require that I "walk a mile in His shoes."   All He asks is that I "accept and believe!"
