Intimacy With The Good Shepherd Brings Blessings

by Hazel Straub

There is great reward when you become intimate with the Good Shepherd. He calls you by name and leads you into good pasture. Trust him with your heart. He gives you refreshment for your soul.

Trust in the Lord completely,
and do not rely on your own opinions.
With all your heart rely on him to guide you,
and he will lead you in every decision you make.
Become intimate with him in whatever you do,
and he will lead you wherever you go.
Don’t think for a moment that you know it all,
for wisdom comes when you adore him with undivided devotion
and avoid everything that’s wrong.
Then you will find the healing refreshment
your body and spirit long for. (Proverbs 3:5-8 TPT)
