The Good Shepherd

God is my Shepherd

And I am His little lamb.

He feeds me

He guides me

He looks after me.

I have everything I need.

Inside, my heart is very quiet.

As quiet as lying still in soft green grass

In a meadow

By a little stream.

Even when I walk through the dark, scary, lonely places

I won’t be afraid

Because my Shepherd knows where I am.

He is here with me

He keeps me safe

He rescues me

He makes me strong

And brave.

He is getting wonderful things ready for me

Especially for me

Everything I ever dreamed of!

He fills my heart so full of happiness

I can’t hold it all inside.

Wherever I go I know

God’s Never Stopping

Never Giving Up

Unbreaking

Always and Forever

Love

Will go, too!

This is a paraphrase of the 23rd Psalm from the Bible we read to our kids (The Jesus Storybook Bible).  I get something new from it every time.  We read these old stories in a different way.  Maybe we over-complicate things way too much…  I know we do…
