Do we see how much Jesus loves us? He initiated a love relationship with us (I John 3:16; 4:10, 19). He is ready to forgive us. He is plenteous in mercy and full of compassion to us (Psalm 86:5). He is faithful to us (Lamentations 3:22-23). The Good Shepherd is the One who consistently strengthens my relationship with Him. The Good Shepherd is the One who is always good…no matter what.
