  GOOD SHEPHERD John 10:11-16  Devotional:- "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gave his life for the sheep”. (V. 11) Shepherds are one of the most caring people on earth. They value the lives of the sheep. They risk their life many times to save the life of the sheep. They follow the sheep wherever they go and lead them To green grass where they enjoy fresh food for their nourishment (Psalms 23:1-6). Their presence comforts and secures the sheep. They cannot tolerate the loss of any of them. So they watch over it so dearly. If anyone is missing, they take pains to look for it till they find it, and when it is found, they celebrate it (Luke 15:4-7). So also is the love of Jesus to you. He is your good shepherd. That is why He laid down His life for you. He died that you might live. He cares for you (I Peter 5:7). He cannot afford to see you in suffering. Whatever you are passing through now is for your glory (Romans 8:18). Everything shall turn to your testimony (Luke...

Lamentation 3:21-33
Devotional:- “It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed because his compassions fail not.” (V. 22)

    Very many people in the world have been made to view God as wicked through the partial information they are fed. God is a just God who does not overlook sin. That is why He gave His son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. So that through the death of Jesus Christ, we can find mercy before Him.

But the bible refers to God as being merciful. He keeps His mercy for millions and forgives iniquities (Exodus 34:7). He is indeed a jealous God who visits iniquity on generations. But the Bible says He will show mercy unto thousands of them that love Him (Deuteronomy 5:9-10). Even if anyone belongs to a cursed family, he only needs to give his life to Christ and start to obey God’s commandments. God’s mercy will prevail over him (John 14:23).

Friend, stop moving about with a cursed mentality. God’s mercy is enough for you. He will not be angry forever. His mercies are new every morning. It means each day brings new opportunities for a new mercy in God. It means your ugly yesterday can be forgiven and forgotten by God today. If you will accept this truth, it will be enough to set you free (Lamentation 3:21-33). There is no sin too great for God to forgive. Always run to God for mercy. He will have mercy and help you (Hebrews 4:15-16). If anyone turns from His evil way and be obedient unto God, He will have mercy on him for He is a God of mercy.

Prayer: Lord, visit my life with your mercy today

“ACCEPTING GOD’S MERCY WILL DELIVER YOU FROM YOUR MESS AND DEPRESSION”
