S   John 10:28   My Shepherd

 

I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.

 

O 

God promises us eternal life, that if we listen to his voice and follow Him that nothing can take us away from Him.  Just like sheep he will protect us from the wolves of the world.  When Jesus calls us we must obey as He is our shepherd and will always lead us along the path of  righteousness.  The path that he has chosen for us His children. 

 

A 

How awesome, Lord Jesus has called me by name.  He knew me before I was born,  He knows my thoughts, my motives, my future, He knows everything there is to know.  I feel so privileged that I belong to God, to be apart of his herd of followers and that when He calls my name He is speaking to my spirit, to the essence of who I am in God.  I was once a lost sheep and Jesus saved me.  I no longer  have fear of being taken by a wolf as my life is in the palm of our Lord Gods mighty hand. 

 

P 

 Father God, I humble myself before you, my life belongs to you.  I pray that I always keep your promises, that I learn to listen rather than speak.  I pray that I will never stray and that you Lord Jesus will always be my good shepherd.  I will go where you send me and I will try really hard to listen to your voice at all times.  Lord I just pray that when I see your face, when I am standing before you Lord that I have done the work that you called me to do, that I may always bring a smile to your beautiful face.  I love you Jesus.  Amen
