The Shepherd knows His sheeps

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. Psalms 23:1

Any ordinary shepherd would do this when his sheep strays too far away from him. The shepherd would break one of the legs of the sheep. And he would carry the sheep on his back around his shoulder. As soon as the sheep's leg heals, it will never stray too far away ever again. Not because it is afraid its other legs might be broken, but because it knows the master so well after spending all the time around his shoulders. Simply because it knows the master, it does not want to leave the master. as told by Derik Lin

If you're broken, take this time to rest. While you heal, He will carry you on his shoulders.

For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you, not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. -The Good Shepherd Jeremiah 29:11

We are Soldiers.

Of Mountains and Battles.

Our life's are made out of so many things- routines, expectations, miracles, accomplishments, and battles.

Battles.

We all have our own battles. Some battles we have won, some are not meant to be won, but to learn from, while some others are still being fought at the battleground.

Recently, some of us had the opportunity to rejuvenate in His presence at the mountain tops- the SEGi CF Camp. The mountain tops are usually the place where, in the Bible, God meets his anointed ones. One of the many was Moses. The mountain tops and the hill tops are where we are left alone, far from our routines, from distractions, where its just you and Him. Where that still small voice seems loud and clear. Where you gain your strength, to fight the battles.

But remember when you get back to the valleys, the battle is still on. Remember also that His hands are always upon you. Do not forget that still small voice, for it might seem unclear and distant, but He never stopped speaking. The stronger you are, the harder the battle will be. For those who have just arrived at the battle ground, welcome back soldiers, we have been waiting for you. For those who had to stay back, do not give up.

Rise, rise and rise again until lambs become lions -Robin Hood

Fight your fight. Sickness, unforgiveness, bitterness, anger, shattered dreams, crushed hope, whatever ti is - fight is and fight for it. The battle is still on, you can sit back in the shelter and watch how you are loosing, or, put on that armor- and fight the good fight. If you fall, remember to rise up, remember the war has been won for us.

Won for you and I.

Rise up, fight, He will never forsake you, His hands will be upon you.

Soldiers, rise up. Fight. Continue reading...

Light snack

The episodes on Imagine This will continue here.
On a lighter note:

There is someone who loves you. He keeps your picture in His wallet. He thinks good things about you. The past He doesn't remember. That time you cried softly behind closed doors, He saw you. In fact the tears didn't just dry away. He collected them into a bottle. Your tears are not wasted.

He loves you.

Good day. Continue reading...
