Grace for your spirit. May 1, 2012

Grace for your spirit
I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. John 10:11

No wonder that Psalm #23 is so loved and remembered. The Lord really is our shepherd. We don't want for anything under His care. Jesus certainly showed us the face of the good shepherd as He walked on this earth. He leads us to green pastures, and guides us to quiet waters, as He provides for our needs, and helps us face the deepest valleys, He never leaves us nor forsakes us. As He compares us to sheep, we realize how helpless we really are without Him. He opens and closes the door to protect us. He comes looking for us when we stray, and He never leaves us in tough times. Because He did lay down His life for His sheep, all His sheep can live eternally by His side. Jesus showed Himself as the Great I AM. The everlasting God, who has the power to complete all He has promised. Praise the Lord for such a great shepherd.
