This promise from the Lord gives me great hope and my prayer is that it wil also give hope to all who read this and believe. Sheep follow the shepherd.  I have been a follower of Jesus for over 40 years and He has never forsaken me, although many times I have tried to turn away and go my own way.  He always faithfully pulled me back into the fold, loved me and forgave me for wandering.  Life with Jesus is an adventure and I invite others to find the same hope that I have found.
