He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake (Ps. 23:3). It is the Lord’s desire for His children that we walk in such paths. The protection and preservation of the glory of His name is certainly of great importance to Him, as it ought to be to us.
I believe I am a chosen child of God. I have been purchased by the precious blood of His Son, Jesus Christ. Yet in my humanness, I am painfully aware of the moments when I have chosen a different path and have not protected His name. I regret the times when I have robbed Him of His due glory, or worse, acted in a manner unworthy of my calling.
I am beyond thankful for the forgiveness I am afforded. As David cried out in Psalm 51, “A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.” Understanding His grace in this way inspires the determination to limp back onto the path of righteousness.
As I strive to represent His holy name, I wear Christ as a cloak about me. Replacing the torn garments of bitter deeds with the beautiful robe of His righteousness, I see the path broadening in such a way that it feels unthinkable to step off again.
