While I, too often, act like a sheep, it helps me to remember I am God’s sheep. And like a good shepherd, He will provide for me and guide me. He promises none of His sheep will be lost. We know Jesus’ voice. We are His sheep, and He will lead us out of trouble.

It is hard to not get wrapped up into worrying about our nation and the fear of destruction, but we need to understand this is not ours to worry about. This is not our kingdom.

We should, instead, look to our heavenly kingdom and our heavenly Father. God has everything under control. He is sovereign.

Let’s practice. Put on some music, sing a song, and wave your arms. Wave a branch from a tree or bush. Wave a prayer shawl. Wave some feathers. Have a joyful heart as you show God how much you appreciate His great love for you!

How are they to love God if they cannot even love themselves? How do we expect them to come to know a Savior who loves them, created them in His image, and sees them as His special children when they do not see themselves as any of those things?

People still go to the cross of Jesus to “hunt” for the truth about salvation or find healing in their inner “sacred ground,” the soul, and it is a very real battleground as they try to live on the Jesus Path.

The weekend of Valentine’s Day saw many hearts open at Haskell LIGHT.

Our Sacred Story team converged on the Haskell Indian Nations University to touch the lives of the native students and community members by allowing them to share their stories of abuse and hurt in order to begin their healing journey.

My tribe had great chiefs like Crazy Horse, Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, and Spotted Elk - all leaders we greatly respected. But just like King David, these great Indian leaders are dead. All we have left are the lessons they taught us and the tombs which hold their lifeless bodies.

Jesus’ followers, however, are set apart from all the other people of the world. Our great leader, our Savior, Jesus Christ, has no tomb. He walked out of his!

Jesus’ death removed the barrier so that new life, in a new relationship with God, could begin for all people.
