 It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.

Hebrews 13:20 (KJV) Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

Hebrews 13:21 (KJV) Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Spending time  with Jesus is a gift to those who will take time. My Dad and hero who taught me so much. I can’t count the times I wish I could ask him a question, hear the phone ring and pick it up to hear his voice. Those days are gone and have been for 37 years but I still wish I could hear his voice. That is not the case with Jesus for He is risen and working within me. Jesus is our “great shepherd the God of peace, that brought again from the dead” The Lord I can hear within for He leads me and directs my steps. I don’t always understand and many times I didn’t go where He wanted me too. Nonetheless, He has led me to meet some great people. He has protected me in dark places, He has comforted me when no one else could, when my heart was broken He was there and the words from my Bible that I had hid  comforted my heart. Our Shepherd is great without doubt. Did you read that part about “working in you” I’m so glad that our Lord didn’t just quit at our salvation, oh no He is still working and building. Think of it this way: there is a piece of ground with nothing on it but trees and weeds. One day a loader starts clearing that ground. Then a foundation is dug and concrete is poured but there is no house. It takes time to build that house before it becomes a home. The same is true with God’s children He is working on us so we will become what He wants us to be. I don’t know about you and what great thing God has done in your life. As I look back and see what God has done in my life I stand amazed. God began to work on a timid young man and began to turn me into what I never would have pursued. My goal was to become a trouble shooter for Delta or some other Airlines fixing electrical problems in their jets. But that never happened and that’s a long story. God began to work by putting me into a job where I had to talk to people I didn’t know. Today I talk to many I don’t know and somewhere in the conversation I try to talk about who I know best and that’s Jesus. God is still building in my life and will be until the day He comes and gets me. My earthly friends are leaving one by one. It seems I find myself going to at least 2 funerals a month. Know what that is telling me? My departure will not be long. But God is still working on me to “Make you perfect in every good work to do his will,”
