A shepherd is a in person engaged in tending, feeding and guarding the sheep. Sheep are completely dependent on the shepherd, to take them to where there is food and water, and to protect them from wolves and other dangers. As a sheep (we) in Jesus' flock, need not fear about anything, for God has never lost a sheep that was placed in His care. Praise the Lord.

• “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. ……. … I know my sheep and my sheep know me—just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. ……The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—… No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”John10:11-18
• My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.  I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.  My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.  I and the Father are one.”John10:11-30

Being a member in God's family, He will sure to uphold you and will take care of you gently in all circumstances. Develop a confidence and move forward. God is right there, when you call upon Him.

• "He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will gather the lambs in his arms and carry them in his bosom and gently lead the mother sheep with those that have young." Isaiah 40:11
• “Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture." Psalm 100: 3
• “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want (Psalm 23:1).
• We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture (Psalm 100:3).
• “… the shepherd of God's people: He will feed his flock like a shepherd, he will gather the lambs in his arms (Isaiah 40:11).

Jesus made three promises to us.

•              He promised everlasting life.
•         If we accept him and follow him, we will have life with no ending and will not perish- indestructible life.
•        Life with full security nobody will snatch us out of his hand. Our lives are safe in his hands.

Praise God and move about and nothing will disturb us.

God bless
