The Good Shepherd Carries Us

     Have you seen pictures of Jesus carrying a sheep across His shoulders? Have you felt His peace when your world was falling to pieces? Have you felt the presence of the Holy Spirit when you were all alone? Jesus carries our burdens as no one else can.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

     If you are overwhelmed with life today, rest in His presence. Read the 23rd Psalm a few times and let Him lift you up.

He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for His name’s sake.  Psalm 23:3-4

     Listen to these beautiful Words from the prophet Isaiah, describing God’s heart and the promise of the Good Shepherd.

He tends His flock like a shepherd. He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart; He gently leads those that have young. Isaiah 40:11

     Let our God tend to you today. Allow Him to carry all of your burdens. He carries you close to His heart.

Jesus,
You are the Good Shepherd and You care for Your flock. Touch each person’s heart in just the perfect way as only You can. We turn to You for all of our needs.

Amen
