These were Jesus’ words as He preached in the towns of Galilee, establishing the characteristics of His Kingdom.

Many years ago, I received a vision of this Christ, standing before all with hands opened, beckoning for us to come to Him.  I can always see it in my mind’s eye.  It’s a vision of a compassionate shepherd, ready to receive us when we’re burdened, infirmed, discouraged, weak.

He’s always there.

DAILY PRAYER:  Thank You, Lord, for Your gentle, humble nature.  Make us like You.  We want to show Your love to this world.

DAILY READING:  Matt. 11-14
