“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God” (Revelation 2:7).

The fruit of life is offered to those who walk with Jesus.  “He will give the power to become children of God.”  Come then and walk in the power and life that Jesus gives.  This world’s ways lead to death.  Only in Christ is there true life, and He gives it abundantly.  Hear what the Lord says to all the churches.  Listen and believe, and have your place in the paradise of God prepared from the beginning.

Lord, it is so simple.  Why do I make it so difficult?  You invite me to come to You and walk with You always.  The world seems so alluring, but it always ends in disappointment.  Guide me, Lord, in the way of true life and grant me the stamina to walk in Your way always.  You have spoken to us and called us to follow You now and forever so that where we will be is with You and the Father, the One who is, was and shall be.

Lord Jesus, guide me in the way of everlasting life so that I may walk humbly and wholly with You.  In the words You have already given, guide me to live according to the truth You have spoken.  By the example You gave while walking upon the earth, help me to follow Your lead.  In all things, according to Your grace and mercy, keep me wholeheartedly in Your love and purpose.  Amen.
