Welcome family of God

I am so glad we could be here together today. If your soul is heavy with the things being said and done in our world today then this is for you. My encouragement has arrived in the form of The Good Shepherd.

In John 10:7-10 says, "So Jesus said again, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that I Myself am the Door for the sheep. ~ All others who came [as such] before Me are thieves and robbers, but the [true] sheep did not listen to and obey them. ~ I am the Door; anyone who enters in through Me will be saved (will live). He will come in and he will go out [freely], and will find pasture. ~ The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). ~ I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd risks and lays down His [own] life for the sheep."

Lord, what a wonder You are! As though for this time in our lives, when the thief has been revealed and we sometimes struggle to hear a good report, along comes Your Faithful promises! Praise the name of Jesus! You never change. Your Love is perfect and your plans are good for those who will put their trust in You. Thank you!

1 Thessalonians 5:24..."Faithful is He Who is calling you [to Himself] and utterly trustworthy, and He will also do it [fulfill His call by hallowing and keeping you]." Think about this! When was the last time you have had anyone care for you so deeply as to lay down His life for you?

His grace helps us to find encouragement and give encouragement to meet needs. I noticed today while trying to catch some "news" that my spirit became agitated and I am sure my blood pressure rose. I had to turn it off and take a deep breath in of Holy Spirit's perfect peace. Drink in Living Water and take in the Bread of Life. Then, I could sit down and let His Word speak to my soul.

The media will never agree. It will never conclude within the boundaries of peace. When we take the word of man and build our lives on that foundation, instead of the strong foundation of God's unchanging faithfulness, we become distracted, discouraged and maybe even loose the strength God wants to supply us with. So, physically, emotionally and spiritually we become prey to the thieves. Fret not little flock. Only Believe, cling to, trust in and abide in the Shepherds loving, faithful care.

The place to be is here in Hebrews 4:16..."Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God's unmerited favor to us sinners). that we may receive mercy 'for our failures] and find grace to help in good time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it.]." Amen!

This is all I have to share right now. You are in my prayers each day. May the Lord bless you with boldness to stand on the
Truth, in the Light and on The Way to your eternal home with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. In the matchless name of Jesus, amen.

Abundance is...God never changes
