Intimate relationship with GOD gives us joy, sense of security and confidence moment by moment day by day.
Psalm 23:1-6
The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. 2He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
John 10:11, 14-15
11I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.
14“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.
*He is a personal Sheppard, I know His voice and I follow Him.
*He is a providing Sheppard. He leads them to green pastors beside quite water. The good Sheppard committed Himself to supply our emotional and spiritual needs and peace for our life. I will not be in want. He does His best for His sheep.
*He is a pardoning Sheppard, he restores my soul.
*He loves us no matter what.
*He is there to restore our souls.
1 John 4:7-11
We Must Love As God Loves
7Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that loves is born of God, and knows God.
8He that loves not knows not God; for God is love.
9In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
Satisfying, fulfilling, genuine love is Godly love without you will feel empty. Love is a commitment and fulfilling the needs. Help each other to become the person GOD wants you to be.
