Do you feel the need to take a walk with Jesus?

I've walked with the Lord since I was seven years old. Got saved at that tender age at a country Baptist church. I joke with my friends and tell them the minister scared me so bad with all his talk about the devil, I ran into the arms of Jesus.
Sometimes we're in the dark about what the Lord sees and is doing in our lives. We get confused and stumble along the way. Sin can so easily ensnare us. Every servant of the Lord will experience trials and tribulations. But, 'thank goodness' we have a forgiving Lord.
Staying with the Lord takes tenacity.
However, if we let His word frame our lives, He'll reward us for it.
Psalm 113: 3 - "You will discover that the Lord has things moving forward that you can not yet know, and His goodness is destined to reappear. So the praise of Him is your connection to His life and presence, even when the pain wants to make you run and hide. Praise Him in all things."
He is our eternal Guide...
The author of the following poem is unknown, but its message is an ageless reminder.
A Walk With Jesus
If you could take a walk with Jesus
If He could spend some time with you
Would you walk through fields of flowers?
Sprinkled with the morning dew.
If you could take a walk with Jesus
Would you walk beside the sea?
Or would you walk out in the forest
So you could rest beneath a tree?
If you could take a walk with Jesus
What would you say to Him?
Would you spend your time complaining?
About your family and friends?
If you could take a walk with Jesus
Would you grumble about your job?
Would you choose your words with caution,
As you walked with the Son of God?
Now before you give your answer
Give careful thought to what you'll say
Though you may not have noticed
Jesus walked with you today...
