The Shepherd's Gift
My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me all the days of my life;
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Psalm 23:5-6 NKJV
When we entrust our hearts and our days to the One who created us, we experience abundance through the grace and sacrifice of His Son. But, when we
turn our thoughts and direct our energies away from God's commandments, we inevitably forfeit the spiritual abundance that might otherwise be ours.
Do you sincerely seek the riches that our Savior offers to those who give themselves to Him? Then follow Him completely and obey Him without reservation. When you do, you will receive the love and the abundance that He has promised. Seek first the salvation that is available through a personal relationship with
Jesus Christ, and then claim the joy, the peace, and the spiritual abundance that the Shepherd offers His sheep.
Jesus wants Life for us, Life with a capital L.
John Eldredge
God is the giver, and we are the receivers. And His richest gifts are bestowed not upon those who do the greatest things, but upon those who accept His abundance and His grace.
Hannah Whitall Smith
Instead of living a black-and-white existence, we'll be released into a Technicolor world of vibrancy and emotion when we more accurately reflect His nature to the world around us.
Bill Hybels
People, places, and things were never meant to give us life. God alone is the author of a fulfilling life.
Gary Smalley & John Trent
Today's Prayer
Good Shepherd, thank You for the abundant life that is mine through Christ Jesus. Guide me according to Your will, and help me to be a worthy servant in all that I say and do. Give me courage, Lord, to claim the rewards You have promised, and when I do, let the glory be Yours. Amen
