God and Me. Today is a new day.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures: He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, thought I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for you are with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Psalms 23

Now that I have a shepherd to lead me I feel safe and secure. He feeds and waters me, restores what the life has robbed me of, he gives back joy, peace, assurance.
I don't have to be afraid of life as I walk through dark places where I cannot see my way.God goes before me and protects me, he leads me in the way which is righteous. He shows his love toward me in the very presence of my enemies. I don't have to fear them for I am running over with God's blessings. His Holy Spirit fills me to the brim and I am satisfied. Because of his goodness and mercies toward me I am followed by them and am safe and secure for the rest of my life.
Only by His Grace, I can say this because he has saved me by his grace, I have faith in Him. He is the only one to be trusted with my soul, his love for me has been shown over and over. He spoke his words that he loves me but he didn't just say it, he acted on it. He not only came to save me but gave me abundant life. He says that: The evil one comes to steal, kill and destroy but he came to give life and to give it more abundantly. That is Eternal Life that he is speaking of and the abundant life is the joy of what he gives us to take care of us while we are here plus play time, fun time. He gives it all.
He says, Whosoever will may come, its not his will for any one to perish(die) but that all would repent of their sins and come to Him.
Out side of Jesus, I have no life, he is my breath, my everything. Everyone has eternal life but where will your eternal life be: with Jesus in heaven or the devil in hell? they both are very real. Life gives and takes. God gives and the devil takes. I can truly say that I have a giving God who wants the very best for me, People say that love is a choice but the bible says that God commands love. He lays to love one another. Love God with all your heart, soul, mind, strength, other words, our whole being. Love your neighbor as yourself. Who is your neighbor? any one who needs you. no matter where they live or who they are. He also said that He commended his love toward us while we were yet sinners. How great a love he has toward us.
And Jesus has no favorites!!!!!!!!!

Jesus, you have given a brand new day,Your mercies are new every morning,You are the great creator of heaven and earth and everything in them and there is nothing new under the sun. Without you nothing was made that was made. You were in the beginning with God, you are the true light who came into the world, you were in the world and the world didn't know you , you came to your own and they didn't receive you, but those who did you gave the right to be your children even to those who believed on your name. who was born: not of blood, nor the will of the flesh nor the will of man but born of God. born of you, not of corruptible but of incorruptible.Thank you Jesus. I pray for all would who will read this that they're hearts would turn completely to you. live the abundent life with you.

I just want to add here that: I only have a 6th grad education and at age 54 I got my GED. Thats a general education deploma, I may not know all the stops and goes of writing but just read it the way I wrote it and maybe you can get some sense out of it. I love you all.
