Description

God wants a relationship with us, a relationship that is rooted in His love and grounded in His forgiveness. He Walks with Us is about Gods relationship with us. It is about God applying His truths to our lives. The truths presented focus our attention on God and not ourselves. It is God telling us what He has already done for us, rather than us asking what we can do.The theme throughout Scripture is that man sins and God forgives. Man is unfaithful, and God is ever faithful. God walks with us even when we are walking down the wrong path. God wants us to have power over sin. He wants to build faithfulness in us. He wants to take us by the hand and walk with us down the right path.Gods walk with us begins with His living Word, Jesus Christ, and His written Word, the Bible. He Walks with Us examines both and uses both to explain Gods role. Ultimately, it is all God and none of us. The truth is that we are because He is. He is the author and perfecter of our faith. It is wonderful to know that we cannot fail when God has the responsibility for our success. He Walks with Us is how God will succeed at that good work that He has started within us.

Foreword
I have known Mary for 30 years. She used to babysit our five daughters. When she approached me and asked if I would mentor her, I said it would have to happen on the “go” as she engaged in our family life. Immediately her impeccable character showed up in the ways she gave sacrificially to serve our family. We became very close and our friendship has grown from t here.
When she told me she wanted to write a book and told me the book she wanted to write, it didn’t surprise me. She has always been passionate about her walk with God and deeply cares about people knowing and experiencing God’s love for them. I believe it is a book that needed to be wri tten.
What caught me by surprise is how quickly she wrote it. We would talk as she was writing and each day I would get another chapter. It was so clear that this was God’s message he had placed on her heart and she felt compelled to share it with others. It wasn’t hard for her to write it because the message flowed from her own experience of walking with Christ. As she shared the chapters with me, I realized these are the truths that have driven her life for so many years…powerful, powerful, life-changing tr uths.
She does not mince words, she tells it like it is. Her comment to me more than once was that she did not want to dilute the truth. She hoped to communicate clearly but not at the expense of God’s word. God’s word was paramount. It is His word that changes l ives.
Our relationship with God is a walk. In all the years I have known Mary she has passionately pursued God as she has walked with Him day by day. However, as she has grown and matured in her understanding of who God is, she is realizing that the depth of their relationship comes from God pursuing her as He walks with her day by day. Mary was determined that walk would be in the title. As the title unfolded I caught her vision. It is His walk wit h us.
I encourage everyone to take the time to read He Walks with Us . Your own walk with God will be challenged but it is also a great resource for helping younger Christians as God begins to walk with them. I have already begun recommending this book to other friends and minist ries.
May this book bless your walk with God causing you to grow in your intimacy with Him as He walks with you.

Introduction
The title of this book is how I experience the Christian life. God walks with me. He walks with me through the ups and downs of life. He is always there wit h me.
When I set out to write a book, I wanted to help others who struggle with the day to day challenges with living. I wanted to write a book about the Christian struggle. Well, once I started writing this is the book that poured out of my h eart.
The truths that follow are the strength of His walk with me. These truths help me get through Romans 7 to Romans 8. They keep me grounded in God’s commitment to me as my Father. My hope and prayer is that these truths will help you.
As I wrote this book, I was struck by the strength of the message of God’s forgiveness. We are forgiven children of God. We have an eternal relationship with God the Father. It is a powerful mes sage.
I believe in the relationship that we have with God in Christ. I believe I can come before God and call Him Daddy. I believe God is alive and well in my soul. I believe that God the Father takes me by the hand and walks wit h me.
I also believe that I am a sinner who presses on until the day I am with Him. Let me clarify, I am a forgiven sinner. As Christians, we are blessed beyond all other people because we have the forgiveness of God in Christ Jesus. Our specialness is His specialness i n us.
I hope as you read the chapters that follow you will grow deeper in your love relationship with our God and experience anew Him walking with you. I say with the Apostle Paul, Ephesians 1:1 7-19:
“that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory; may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who bel ieve.”
Chapter 1 He Walks With Us
The message of this book is about His walk with us. It is about God the Father taking us by the hand and walking with us. It is about God placing His truths in our he arts.
The truths I chose are the ones that have been critical in God’s walk with me. These truths ground me in His love as my Father. These are His truths He uses as He walks with me through the ups and downs of life; truths that support my footsteps as God and I walk toge ther.
I believe God walking with us started in the Garden of Eden. Genesis 3:8 tell s us:
“And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the ga rden…”
Adam and Eve heard God walking in the garden. With all the other animals walking about, Adam and Eve knew the sound of God walking in the garden. God had walked in the garden before. God had walked with Adam and Eve be fore.
Genesis 3:9 r eads:
“Then the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?”
God knew where man was but I think it is poignant that He asked. I believe it was customary for God to walk with Adam and Eve. God had come as usual but Adam was not wai
