I do not send you ahead of Me and I never will. I loved first, gave first, suffered first, sacrificed first, died first, rose first and ascended first in order to prepare your way.

O’, that you might know the abundance of this great shepherding heart of Mine. Hear My voice and do not follow another (John 10:27). Should you follow another, I will come after you and carry you back to the pastures of My incredible love and protection. Have I not said, “No one can pluck you out of My hand!” This is so, for I have given you eternal life in Me (Job 10:28-29, Romans 6:23).

The meaning of Psalm 23, symbolism of Psalm 23

I will wipe away all guilt, doubt and stains of the past making you as clean and fresh as a white sheet blowing in soft breezes of a spring day. All your resentment, guilt and anger are wiped away. Forgive and it is forgiven. Do this even if you see no difference right away in the one you have forgiven. I did it before I ever saw any change in you. I loved you first. And you changed (Proverbs 22:11), didn’t you? Be the first to love. Be like Me
