Why do I follow his way?
What does he do for me?
Jesus is my Lord and my Shepherd. With him in my life, I know that I shall want for nothing – nothing that is, that fits in with God’s will and purpose and plan for my life. He will supply my every need – my every need, not want.
He brings me to times of quiet and peace amidst the turmoil that is life. When I am going through times of great anxiety and fear, he restores my peace of mind.
He brings comfort to my soul. When I wander away from the straight and narrow, he gently leads me back into the way, the path mapped out for me, because I claim his name as a Christian and his name must never be brought to shame.
Even in the darkest tunnels of my life, and in places of grave danger, I know that there is nothing to fear because he is ahead of me, guiding; he is behind me, protecting; he is beside me, encouraging, he is beneath me, uplifting; he is over me, watching; He is around me and within.
Like a shepherd with his flock, I know his rod will protect me and his staff will gently hold me near.
Even in front of those who are against me, he will show me his love and bestow his blessings upon me, bringing them shame.
His hand moves over my head like healing balm and I am anointed by his touch. My life overflows with all he has given me.
There is no doubt in my mind that I am his and he is mine, and as long as I endeavour to stay true to the will of our Father God, I know that his loving kindness towards me and the mercy and grace he grants me will surround me all the days of my life.
I have an assurance - a blessed assurance – that Jesus has prepared a place for me in our Father’s house, and I shall spend eternity with my Lord Jesus Christ. Alleluia!
