John 10:10-11 .....My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep.
Thank God we have a Good Shepherd who went beyond the call of duty, He answered the call of love for us and the pull of His great love led Him to sacrifice His life for us. Amazing Love.
Part of His purpose in giving up His life was so we can know and experience the abundant life He has provided for us and we can only enter into it when we allow Him to be our Shepherd. When we're willing to follow His lead He'll lead us beside peaceful streams and let us rest in green meadows.(Psalm 23 Nlt)
Is God trying to lead you somewhere today but you're holding back, afraid to step out in faith to go where He knows you'll find rest for your soul? Let your Good Shepherd do what He does well, put your hand in His and let Him show you where the green pastures are, where the waters of rest are.
Matthew 9:36 Jesus knows our hearts, how we feel, what we're thinking, and we see Jesus in this verse filled with compassion because He knew the people were distressed and dejected like sheep without a shepherd. But when we know the Good Shepherd we don't need to be distressed, dispirited or dejected, weary or worn out. How do I know?
Isaiah 40:11 He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will carry the lambs in his arms, holding them close to his heart. He will gently lead the mother sheep with their young.
Do you see the picture of each lamb held in His arms? He is concerned for us as individuals. When Jesus is our Good Shepherd He will care for us, protect us and provide for us. He will hold us close to His heart.
Just take a minute and let Him reassure your heart and know you too have a Good Shepherd and let Him lift you up today and allow Him to gently lead you to where He wants you to be. He only wants what is best for you.😊
