What Did Jesus Say or Not Say
I love the scripture that tells us to walk by faith in Him rather than by what we see. “For we walk by faith, not by sight (2 Cor 5:7 ESV). The "walk" here is a metaphorical reference to the way a person conducts his or her life. We still use the phrase "all walks of life" to mean a variety of lifestyles or cultures.

Five Things Jesus Did Not Say:
Follow your heart-But Jesus said, "Come with me. I will make a new kind of fisherman out of you. I'll show you how to catch men and women instead of perch and bass” (Matthew 4:19-20 message bible).
Be true to yourself-But Jesus said, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me” (Matthew 16:24 NIV).
Believe in yourself-But Jesus said, “Believe in me. I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life” (John 5:24-25).
Live your truth-But Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).
As long as your happy-But Jesus said, “What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Matthew 16:26-27 NIV).
“The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? "I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward a man according to his conduct, according to what his deeds deserve” (Jer. 17:9-10 NIV)
