Thoughts for another day

Today's verse: Ez. 34:31. And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord GOD. (KJV)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)
The Lord loves His people and He cares. He looks at us very tenderly because He knows we’re fragile. He takes us carefully in His hands and holds us close to His bosom. In His presence, we feel no fear and come to no harm. We’re gently led by Him as we move in His ways and accept His plans. When we don’t resist Him, our paths are filled with goodness, though at times it may seem they’re filled with thorns. The Lord doesn’t promise us a bed of roses, but says that with every thorn we have to be pricked by, He will provide us the Grace to bear the pain.
When I read the Word of our above Scripture, I feel warm inside of me. When small, I used to see a picture of Jesus holding a little lamb on His shoulders; an amazing picture. Whoever had conceived it had put great love and care in His eyes. Looking at it, I could feel Him watching: His love and care flowing into me. The lamb in His hand was tender and no matter how old we may be we are yet very tender, for we are but children before Him who is the Ancient of Days.
Now our Father says, you men you are my flock, the flock of My pasture and I am your God. He affirms His Sovereign right over us in that He declares we are His people, who He will tend. What a beautiful God. Though we sin, though we crouch in our evil and though we offend His infinite goodness again and again, He yet says He is our God. His Words are so firm, ‘I will never forsake you’. My dear friend, how good is our God and how patient and loving He is to us. Like me don’t you also feel like just loving Him, worshipping Him and falling on His chest and looking into His eyes and saying, ‘Yes Father, I am Your sheep, You are my God’.
