Glory

Feet That Carry Glory

“How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!”
—Romans 10:15, NASB

This image does not merely show bare feet on scorched earth. It proclaims a holy invitation—a call to surrender all and follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These are not the feet of the comfortable. They are the feet of the commissioned, marked by dust, by obedience, and by the presence of Yeshua.

Our God stepped into flesh. Yeshua walked among us, not as a king on polished marble, but as a servant on dusty roads. The King of Glory stooped to wash feet, not to be honored, but to show us that only those who bend low will walk high in the Spirit. “If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.” —John 13:14, NASB

And then He said, “Follow Me.”

Walking the ancient paths — feet fitted with readiness, following the call of God to go wherever He leads.

To follow Yeshua is to walk with nothing in our hands but His name. It is to live with hearts wholly emptied of pride and feet wholly yielded to His leading. The Gospel demands not partial loyalty, but full abandonment. “Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.” —Luke 14:27, NASB

A.W. Tozer once wrote, “The only safe place for a sheep is by the side of his shepherd, because the devil does not fear sheep; he just fears the Shepherd.” That is why we walk. Not to prove ourselves, but to stay near the Shepherd. We are safe only when we are close to Him.

These feet—yours and mine—were made to carry the fire of Heaven into the wilderness of this world. But not by might, not by strategy. Only by the Holy Spirit. The apostles were not told to plan, but to wait. And when the fire fell, they walked—into danger, into persecution, into glory.

“Take nothing for your journey…” —Luke 9:3, NASB

Why? Because God alone must be our portion. Anything we carry in our strength becomes a hindrance. We are not called to carry baggage—we are called to carry the Gospel.

Do not be deceived by comfort. The road of Christ is not wide or easy. But it is holy. And He walks it first.

“Where I am, there My servant will be also.” —John 12:26, NASB

Let us walk then, not as wanderers but as witnesses. Let the dust cling to our feet as a sign of our consecration. Let every step cry out: “Not my will, but Yours be done.” For our lives are not our own—we were bought with a price. Our steps are not our own—they were ordered by the King.

This is the walk of the crucified. This is the path of the pure. This is the journey of the remnant who live by the Spirit alone.

Closing Prayer

Lord Yeshua, we abandon every comfort and every claim. We take off the sandals of pride and place our feet into the dust where You walked. Lead us where You will. Be our only strength. Be our only aim. We trust in nothing but You. Teach us to walk by the Spirit, with eyes fixed on Your glory and hearts completely Yours. Amen.

Come to the One Sent by the Father

Beloved, you who hunger for truth and long for something more—listen. The Father sent the Son, not to judge you, but to save you (John 3:17). Yeshua, the Lamb of God, was not an afterthought nor a distant Savior. He came in the fullness of time, sent by the Father, bearing heaven’s authority and the weight of divine love.

The prophets foresaw Him. “I have called You in righteousness… and will appoint You as a covenant to the people, as a light to the nations” (Isaiah 42:6). “Come near to Me, listen to this: From the beginning I have not spoken in secret, from the time it took place, I was there. And now the Lord God has sent Me, and His Spirit” (Isaiah 48:16). And again: “Many nations will join themselves to the Lord in that day… and will become My people” (Zechariah 2:11). His coming was foreseen, even as one sent by His Father.

This is that day. Yeshua is the Sent One, and He is calling you now.

A weathered wooden cross stands silhouetted against a glowing sunset, marking the place where pride ends and surrender begins.

God’s Faithfulness and My Journey

My life bears witness to this truth. Years ago in Nashua, NH, I encountered Yeshua through my girlfriend. I accepted Him into my heart, and everything changed. My first pastor, Kyn, baptized me in his backyard pool, and El Shaddai began a transforming work in me, just as it is written: “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:6, NASB). This transformation, orchestrated by the One sent by the Father, marked the beginning of a new journey.

Later, I moved to Syracuse, NY, to help plant a church. I took on many roles and became an ordained pastor. But under the weight of ministry, I faltered. I burned out. Divorced and disillusioned, I walked away—not only from my calling but slowly from God. I spent nearly twenty years in a wilderness of silence.

But God wasn’t finished with me.

In October 2023, while looking for retirement income, I began writing again. What began as a practical step turned into a divine encounter. The Lord led me to combine my photography with devotional writing—and that’s when breath entered dry bones. “This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life” (Ezekiel 37:5). The Holy Spirit stirred, and my soul awakened. Where I once avoided people, I now pursue them to share His love. His Spirit now guides every step.

He has spared me from death, carried me through sickness, and brought peace into my chaos. “The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7, NASB). He supplied what I lacked (Philippians 4:19), strengthened me when I had nothing left (2 Corinthians 12:9, AMP), and healed wounds I didn’t even understand (Jeremiah 30:17, AMP). Through His infinite grace, the Father sent His peace into my chaos.

I testify today: God’s promises are unshakable. He has never failed me.

Jesus rests with friends in Bethany, finding peace and fellowship before the cross, while Mary and Martha quietly serve in love.

The One Who Was Sent

Yeshua did not come on His own. He was sent. Indeed, sent by the Father for a purpose.

“I have not come of Myself, but He sent Me” (John 8:42).

“This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent” (John 6:29).

“He who receives Me receives Him who sent Me” (John 13:20).

To believe in the Son is to believe in the Father. To reject the Son is to reject the One who sent Him. Yeshua spoke only what the Father gave Him (John 12:49), and performed works that bore witness to His divine sending (John 5:36).

He was the final word, the beloved Son whom the Father said, “They will respect My Son” (Matthew 21:37). Will you respect Him? Will you receive Him?

The face of an apostle, marked by reflection and resolve, beholding the risen Christ—no guilt in life, no fear in death.

The Call

Let my story speak to your heart. If El Shaddai could awaken a weary servant, bring peace to years of silence, and breathe life into dry bones—He can do the same for you. The One sent by the Father continues to call and restore.

“Just as the Father has sent Me, I also send you” (John 20:21). He sends us still—to love, to serve, to speak truth, and to walk in the power of the Spirit. And this is eternal life: “that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent” (John 17:3).

Come. Believe. Receive the One sent by the Father.

Prayer

El Shaddai, You who sent Your Son in love and truth—open the hearts of those reading now. Let them feel the weight of Your glory and the tenderness of Your mercy. Draw the wandering home. Revive the weary. Let the breath of heaven fall again. I thank You for my journey—for every valley and every restoration. May it point back to You. Use me now to serve Your people and speak Your truth. In the mighty name of Yeshua, the Sent One—Amen.
