‘Give us courage and largeness of heart that we may follow unafraid.’ – E. Stanley Jones
When I am afraid, it is often because I forget that I am following a Good Shepherd. He leads me, He is with me, and His goodness and mercy follow me (Ps 23:2,4,6). I do not have to clear my own path He leads me by the hand (Ps 139:10).
I can follow His lead to the ends of the earth for He is with me to the end of the age (Matt 28:19-20).
Lord, will You overwhelm our hearts with the reality of Your kind shepherding. Remind our hearts that You are near. In Your name, amen.
To remember,
