Easter time is Special – it is good to remember that:- 

Jesus is Alive He has Risen from the dead and He is Alive!

Jesus is our Shepherd.

Jesus is Alive He has Risen from the dead and He is Alive!

The Oil Painting is by J.M.R. Larman and depicts Jesus as our Shepherd.

We are the Sheep of his pasture and He loves us and cares for us.

Psalm 26 verse 2

Test me, O Lord and try me, examine my heart and my mind;

***

Have you ever asked The Lord to examine your heart and mind?  It makes you wonder when He examines us what will He find?  I think it best to try to have a look into our own hearts before we ever ask The Lord to take a look.  Our minds are sometimes a minefield, full of things that they should not be full of.  We best get rid of some of the awful things that seem to come into our hearts and minds before we ask God to examine them.  Maybe best to start straight away!  Let me see have I let go of worry, anger?  Oh dear seems a lot of rubbish in there that should not be there, how about you?

The above is taken from the book: ‘Drink from the Cup’ by J.M.R.Larman.

We are all individuals,

all different as people,

just as snowflakes are different

but are still snowflakes.

 God made everyone according to a pattern.

  So we are made,

according to pattern.

We are made in the image of God.

Have a lovely day.
