Be Comforted, Little Flock!
This is for somebody today.
Beloved. To you who are sad and depressed. To you who have lost all hope. To you who mourn. You shall be comforted.
I see Jesus. He is gathering His lambs unto Himself. You are His sheep, the sheep of His pasture.
He holds you close to His Heart. He is binding up your broken places. Both physically and emotionally. He is binding up your wounds.
He is pouring His Oil over these wounds. Be comforted, Little Flock.
Jesus is Your Good Shepherd. He is your Great Physician. The Comforter Himself is with you. The God of all compassion neither slumbers nor sleeps.
Rest in His Everlasting Arms. He is healing your broken heart. He wipes the tears from your eyes. Don’t struggle, Little One. Be still and know that He is God.
“He shall feed His flock like a Shepherd: He shall gather the lambs in His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young,” Isaiah 40:11.
“Know that the LORD Himself is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture,” Psalm 100:3.
“You are My flock, the sheep of My pasture. You are My people, and I am your God. I, the Sovereign LORD, have spoken,” Ezekiel 34:31.
“The LORD is my Shepherd, I shall NOT lack for anything,” Psalm 23:1.
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that you may have life, and have it abundantly. I am the Good Shepherd; the Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep,” John 10:10-11.

I guess this was for me. I have been so sad and depressed for the last tens years. Though there have been good moments, my baseline was always depressed.
I was so sad last Friday until I hoped that I didn’t wake up. I took my depression mess, and drank a couple of glasses of wine. I was not intending to take my life, but if it happen,that would have been good. I will try to meditate on these scriptures.
Thank you for allowing Christ to speak through you.
