Cornelia W’s Reviews > A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 > Status Update

"He looks on my life in tenderness, for He loves me deeply. He sees the long years during which His goodness & mercy have followed me without slackening. He longs to see some measure of that same goodness and mercy not only passed on to others by me but also passed back to Him with joy.
He longs for love — my love.
And I love Him — only and because He first loved me.
Then He is satisfied."

I am wrecked by this!

"When I come to the Lord’s table and partake of the communion ser vice which is a feast of thanksgiving for His love and care, do I fully appreciate what it has cost Him to prepare this table for me?"

Amid all this chaos of a confused society, Christ comes quietly as of old & invites us to come to Him. He invites us to follow Him. He invites us to put our confidence in Him. For He it is who best knows how we can be satisfied. He knows that the human heart, the human personality, the human soul with its amazing capacity for God can never be satisfied with a substitute. only the spirit & life of Christ will satisfy.

When my eyes are on my Master they are not on those around me. this is the place of peace.

"I am completely satisfied with His management of my life. Why? Because He is the sheepman to whom no trouble is too great as He cares for His flock. He is the rancher who is outstanding because of His fondness for sheep — Who loves them for their own sake as well as His personal pleasure in them. He will, if necessary, be on the job twenty-four hours a day to see that they are properly provided for in every detail."

"Contentment should be the hallmark of the man or woman who has put his or her affairs in the hands of God."
