like a sheep.

be content to be a simple sheep... listening for My voice and following Me. I will lead you into restful green pastures and guide you along paths of righteousness.

wednesday, april second.

I have promised to meet all your needs according to my glorious riches. your deepest, most constant need is for My peace. I have planted peace in the garden of your heart, where I live; but there are weeds growing there too: pride, worry, selfishness, and unbelief. I am the Gardener, and I am working to rid your heart of these weeds. I do my work in various ways. when you sit quietly with me, I shine the light of My presence directly into your heart. in this heavenly light, peace grows abundantly and weeds shrivel up. I also send trials into your life. when you trust Me in the midst of trouble, peace flourishes and weeds die away. thank me for troublesome situations; the peace they can produce far outweighs the trials you endure.

february thirteen.

receive My peace abundantly and thankfully. it is a rare treasure, dazzling in delicate beauty yet strong enough to withstand all onslaughts. wear My peace with regal dignity. it will keep your heart and mind close to Mine.
