MEDITATION

Intimacy with Jesus - the goal, purpose and definition of our salvation. If you don't have intimacy with the Shepherd, I hesitate to believe that you've ever truly encountered Him for all that He is. Today, seek above all else to get to know the voice of your Shepherd. Learn how He moves, how He leads. Develop an intimate following of Him today.
