Years I spent wandering around in many of sins empty pursuits, without caring where they were leading me, ignorant of the bondage I was in. Until one day in the early 1970’s, when the Good Shepard, which left his other sheep safely in his fold, came and found me bleeding and dying on the broad road of sin.
There were many that saw me in that state, but just passed me by, others walked far around me none offered any help. The Good Shepard, when he saw me, had compassion on me; he bound up my wounds, poured in his oil and wine, and set me in his breast and cared for me. No other eyes had pity on me when I was cast out into the open field of sin; all others just felt a loathing of my person.
When he passed upon me, and he saw me polluted in my sin, he said to me, Live; yes, he said unto me when he saw me in my sin, Live. Then he caused me to multiply as the buds of the field, and increased me.
When I was naked, he washed me with water; yes, he thoroughly washed away my sin, and anointed me with his Spirit. Clothed me also with fine linen, and covered me with silk, decked me with gold and silver; and made me prosper in his kingdom. When he passed me by, and looked upon me it was a time of love. And he spread his coat over me and covered my nakedness: Yes, and he entered a covenant with me, and said unto me you are mine.
Do you know him today?
Do you need a friend that will be closer to you than a brother?
I recommend him.
