Chastening Followers
by Jenny Wren
Come little lambkin close to my chest,
Hovering so near, close to my breast
Hear my own heart, beating for you
I am your shepherd, none to her will do
Cuddle real close - the lamb so secure
Knowing you are safe, master is sure
Have I not watched over, you as before
I now beacon to you with my open door
Other shepherd may mean you a harm
Cuddle in close, fall asleep, on my arm
No one in this world will I let harm you
Let me be the guide, yes I love you too.
I m sorry I spanked you, for your own good
You did not listen to me, as you should
Now Ill carry you, until youre secure,
My motive was good is kind and pure
In your future days lamb, you shall see
My rod is protection from, me, for thee
So is this staff. I hold here in my hand
It is to save you in our wearisome land
A lamb nuzzling close to masters chest
Bleating his soft cry as, he took his rest
The master soon with his voice in a song
Croons to Baby lambs, as they tag along
It is time to play while the shepherd rests
Lambs in adventuring their master to test
Laughing at his lambs, in frolicking play
Enjoying his big brood, this summer day

Job 42:12-17 "So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning, for he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
He had also seven sons and three daughters.
And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.
And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job, and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons sons, even four generations.
So Job died, being old and full of days."

Either way,
I do try my best to know Him and to personally know Him closer and closer, more than I knew Him yesterday, my every yesterday, each day. Seems I grow in Him and I never tire of it.
I truly have a dream - it is a dream that is unrealized as of yet, for me, but I have found it to be a daily special, and free growth, just for the searching it out, in His, God’s own Holy Word,
So far, what I have found is:
true satisfaction...and we commune together, His is a tiny, still small voice; some call it an unction and you have to be listening for it...
Sh, to even hear it.
My Jesus is Lord of Host - He satisfies for each day, in what I have found and know about my everlasting Father God.
I have a feeling that I will never fully know Him on this old earth (especially this side of Heaven...one more reason I want to go home...I will know Him all of Him then).
I am getting home-sick for Heaven, and at times I get plumb earth-sick of here.... but knowing He is beside me, here, that I am a part of His great body of the living Church over which, He, Jesus is the head....
I do know and you can know this My God!
I do know that He is Mine. But, I know - I also wish to share this same God with anyone, yes, everyone I meet!
(God is not to be held captive, by anyone,)
,
There is enough God, Lord, Savior, Holy Spirit, Jehovah, for whosoever may come in search of Him! I know this also....He is findable.
It seems kind of funny now that I searched for Him for such a long time, wanting something or someone, to truly make me happy to be alive, and God is what I have been in search of. I had hunted. I searched everywhere,
Until He, one day, God found me!
(Now I know: He was right there with me, all of that time.)
Although I have learned a lot, I do want to know more and shall know more in my quest, in future searches.
Sometimes my cup of love just overflows with His great love, like right here, what you are reading is some of the contents of that flow!
May God now bless and draw you to Him and keep you forever.
I have known God for over 65 of my 73 years and have never grown tired of Him.
I could not live a moment without Him, nor would I want to even try to live without you, my Lord.
Child of His own unique Creation of you,
You search out and find Him,
You will never be sorry!
Spend time in Search for Him. Now, may God bless you and woo you to Him
May you find the happy life that you search for, with the Lord.
Until next time, I close in search of - more of Him.
All I know Lord..
I have loved you since I was a child at my momma’s knees. I have grown more in love with him as days and years pass on by me,
leaving me with just a little bit more of Him each and every passing year, what a sweet way to spend my life searching for the elusive God. I will find you as you stop hiding from me.
