OUR TENDER SHEPHERD
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I
will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”
Psalms
23:4 KJV
Eliza
Edmunds Hewitt wrote a beautiful hymn about our tender Shepherd “Safe in the
Shepherd’s Care”. “Through the valley
dark and deep, He will comfort, He will keep, I am safe in the tender
Shepherd’s care; Happy in His saving grace, Till I see His blessèd face, I am
safe in the tender Shepherd’s care.”
Have
you allowed it to go from head knowledge to heart knowledge that one wonderful
happy day we will see our precious Saviour face to face? Think about it. Jesus loves us unconditionally and He really
cares about us. As much as we are
longing to see Him, Jesus wants to see us more.
We
are His bride and He loves us so much He died for us. I believe when He comes back for us with a
shout, He will have tears of joy and happiness on His precious face. O what a Saviour, this Jesus of Nazareth ! I love Him so much. Without Him, life is meaningless because we
just exist.
We
have this promise in the Bible. “For the
Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the
archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:”
(1 Thessalonians 4:16). What a precious
promise and healing balm it is to our battle scarred heart.
Heavenly
Father, we praise You and love You and thank You for Jesus. Precious Jesus, I love You with all my
heart. Thank You for loving me and for
dying for me. I long to see You face to
face. You are so precious to me. In Jesus’ Name, I pray. Amen.
