Isa.40:11
(Read the whole AWESOME chapter HERE)
He tends his flock like a shepherd:
He gathers the lambs in his arms
and carries them close to his heart;
he gently leads those that have young.
Canning season allows time for longer listening!
Yesterday I listened to the phenomenal, timeless message shared below.
No matter where in our faith journey we are,
or perhaps not yet begun,
there is hope through the Good Shepherd, for one and all!
(side note; the tomato mountain is shrinking!)
this is what remains this morning...
starting from this (plus some not shown!) on Monday.
The week of full sunshine ripened them far faster than I expected! So thankful.
To say the least, its been an absolute thrill to gather
an abundant harvest in!
It makes the heart glad but pales in comparison
to the gladness of the Shepherd's heart
as His flock is gathered in.
Like a parched land,
Like a stream, dry
Like a lost lamb
Are you and I
No viand for
The starving soul
Without God's store
To make us whole
Like a Shepherd
God tends His flock
His kind love stirred
Beyond all thought
He gathers lambs
Into His arms
And carries them
Close to his heart
The ninety-nine
Within the fold
He leaves to find
One in the cold
His love, no thought
Can comprehend
Its glimpse a cross
With life-Blood stained
Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
His urgent groan
His Living Word?
Abundance waits
In rich supply
At the Fold's gates
Will we walk by?
