Pursued by the Good Shepherd

Many people in our world have no sense of meaning or purpose. We wake up, and go through the motions of life, and yet we feel such a lack inside, a vacuum that seems like an endless void, and we feel though in such a large world, so small, and so meaningless in this complex world that is very self centered. When we go through difficult times, this void seems even more evident. We may experience health challenges, or a broken home, or a broken heart. So often we look to other people to fill this void, and come up still feeling such an emptiness.
I believe this is because we were created for God. To worship Him in sweet fellowship, and since the fall of mankind when sin entered it, the fellowship was broken, and it is only when we go to the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ, we find what is our true calling in life. Not to make a name for ourself, or leave a grand legacy, but to give our lives to Him..the one we were created by and for [John 1:3]

Life may have handed you some lemons, so you've tried to make lemonade, and found the lemonade was too sour to drink. You my friend don't need mouth puckering lemonade, you need the precious living water that only God's Son can give you.
Do you sense His knock at the door of your heart? You may think you need to be religious to run into the good Shepherd's Arms, but nothing could be further from the truth. You need to realize though your sins have separated you from Him, but His cross is where you can go to and find forgiveness and healing in the Arms of the One who has given His all for you!
He loves you so much, and He has given a new life to so many people of all shapes, sizes, races, backgrounds and beliefs.

I was raised in a JW family, and brought up religiously, but I didn't know Christ jesus as my Good Shepherd.

I hope this blog helps you to know how much He loves you, and may God shine His Light upon your heart, and soften your heart to this message....
