QUOTES ON TOP

“I want something really worthwhile to live for. I want to invest this one life of mine as wisely as possible, in the place that yields the richest profits to the world and me…wherever it is, I want it to be God’s choice for me and not my own… Christ said, “He that would find his life shall lose it” and proved the truth of this divine paradox at Calvary. I want Him to lead me and His Holy Spirit to fill me.” – Betty Stam

GHG SHORT DEVOTIONALS - 47 (GOD IS SEARCHING FOR YOU)

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” - John 10:27

1.     Who are the people that fall under the category of the sheep that follows Jesus? 

The answer is the sheep that hear His voice. They are the ones who follow Him. You have to know one thing:  it’s neither God’s will nor God’s mistake that you lose your way. The wrong is in our part only. We fell only because we did not listen to God’s voice or take into consideration God’s efforts to keep us with Him. The voice of God which was heard by all other sheep was heard by us also. But they followed His voice more diligently than us. We rejected His voice and decided to go on by our own understanding. We thought our understanding is much greater than the guidance of His voice. But our understanding let us down. If you have the desire to follow Jesus Christ, your Saviour, you have to listen to His voice. 

2.     What are the blessings that we will receive if we listen to His voice?

“And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.” – John 10:28
a)     God will give you eternal life
b)     You shall never perish
c)     No one can pluck you out of God’s hand

 To get these wonderful blessings, it is essential that you listen to God’s voice. Don’t lean on your own understanding which leads you to failure. But trust in God who will guide you by keeping His eyes on you. As you listen to His voice you will be protected from all kinds of dangers.
Even today you may feel dejected in your heart that you have failed to listen to God’s voice. Be of strong courage, my dear child, God is searching for you. He is looking for you to make you join in His own cattle again. He will give you back all that you had lost and He will restore your joy. Give your life to Him. He will certainly change you.
