Scripture #7 and #8

I am behind posting this time. Sorry. So here is my verse for the beginning of the month (1-14) and the end of the month (15-31).

 

#7 -  "Tell it to your children, and let your children tell it to their children, and their children to the next generation." Joel 1:3 (NIV)

#8 - "so that you can distinguish between the holy and the common, between the unclean and the clean"  (NIV)

Living Water ...

 

I love this picture for a million and one reasons. The biggest one is it reminds me we are all sheep and those of us who have chosen to follow the Shepherd, we hear His voice and we follow only Him and we drink together from Living Water. LOVE THIS.

 

Very often I want other sheep to look like me or act like me, but that was not Jesus' plan. Ever. His plan is that we would live in unity. That we each play a unique and different role in the body. We are not carbon copies. He has a specific plan for all of us. And, we are to love one another. There is no if attached to that.

 

It's beautiful. And we are all beauty-full to Him. We are precious in His name. He has counted every hair on our heads. We mean more to Him than birds and we are not to worry about a thing. because He's got it. He even left us His Word to follow and speaks to us all individually. Be still and know. Listen. He has truly amazing things to say.

 

Oh, how He loves us.
