Ask for the Ancient Paths Michael Cantrell

We want to receive the life that God gives us, not choose our life for ourselves.

"Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
“I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

On the cross, they offered Jesus wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he didn't take it.
-- Mark 15
I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride. I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, friends! Drink, yes, drink abundantly, beloved.
-- Song of Songs 5

“But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. . . .  love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful."
-- Jesus, in Luke chapter 6

This is a more personal episode, a sort of diary entry. Let's all listen for the Teacher's voice as we commit ourselves to walking with Him.
