It\u2019s a secret that has transformed my life, and I believe it can do the same for you. It\u2019s simple yet profound: God as our Shepherd.<\/p><p>I remember the first time I truly felt God\u2019s guidance. It was a rough period in my life \u2013 I was lost, confused, and burdened with worries. Then, one day, I stumbled upon <em><i>Psalm 23:1, \u201cThe Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.\u201d<\/i><\/em>\u00a0These words brought great comfort to my spirit. Imagine that! The Almighty God, who created the universe, is also a shepherd who cares for me, as a weak and wounded sheep.<\/p><p>When I began to see God as my Shepherd, everything changed. Shepherd is known for his dedication and care for his sheep, and that\u2019s exactly what God does for me. He provides, protects, and guides me through life\u2019s toughest terrains. In those moments when I felt overwhelmed, I remembered <em><i>Psalm 23:4, \u201cEven though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.\u201d <\/i><\/em>Knowing that God walks with me, even in the darkest valleys, brings an indescribable peace and joy.<\/p><p>I also found special reassurance in <em><i>John 10:11<\/i><\/em>, where Jesus says<em><i>, \u201cI am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.\u201d <\/i><\/em>This verse reminds me of the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made for me. His love is so deep that He laid down His life to save me. Realizing this immense love fills my heart with joy and gratitude. It\u2019s a joy that isn\u2019t dependent on circumstances but is rooted in the unchanging love of God.<\/p><p>Living with God as my Shepherd means trusting Him completely. It\u2019s about surrendering my worries and letting Him lead. <em><i>Proverbs 3:5-6<\/i><\/em>\u00a0advises me, <em><i>\u201cTrust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.\u201d <\/i><\/em>When I trust Him, I experience true joy because I am not carrying the burdens alone. God\u00a0has taken care of me!<\/p><p>Friend, if you\u2019re searching for true joy, would you look to God as your Shepherd? Please embrace His guidance, protection, and love. Let Him lead you beside still waters and restore your soul. I promise, you\u2019ll find a joy that surpasses all understanding, a joy that is rooted in the unwavering love of your Shepherd. Remember<em><i>, \u201cThe Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.\u201d <\/i><\/em>Keep this truth close to your heart, and let it fill you with peace and joy every day.<\/p><p>We warmly invite you to come to the Chicago True Jesus Church\u2019s Fall Evangelical Service and Spiritual Convocation in September.<\/p><p>September 26-29, 2024<\/p><p>Thursday, September 26,2024 6:50PM to 8:10PM<br \/>Friday and Saturday, 27-28 September,\u00a02024 9:00AM to 8:10PM<br \/>Sunday, September 29, 2024 9:00AM to 1:00PM<br \/>Complimentary lunch and dinner will be served.<\/p><p>Our church\u2019s address is as follows:<\/p><p><b>True Jesus Church<\/b><br \/><b>4N550 Church Road<br \/><\/b><b>Bensenville,\u00a0<abbr title=\"Illinois\">IL<\/abbr>\u00a060106<br \/><\/b><i aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/True+Jesus+Church+Chicago\/@41.945266,-87.9536702,18.39z\/data=!4m14!1m7!3m6!1s0x880fb39f5fbd433d:0x72d82c41e185bf3e!2s4+S+Church+Rd,+Bensenville,+IL+60106!3b1!8m2!3d41.9448745!4d-87.9534209!3m5!1s0x880fb3a1e4e2dd49:0xd44299b704de1192!8m2!3d41.9453743!4d-87.9533863!16s%2Fg%2F1tdn02z1?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>\u00a0Google Maps<\/b><\/a><\/p><p>In the meantime, please feel free to join us for our regular Sabbath (Friday evening and Saturday)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tjc-chicago.org\/service\/live-sabbath-service\/\">services online<\/a>\u00a0or in-person.<\/p><p>Friday Evening Service:\u00a0 7:50PM \u2013 9:00PM<\/p><p>Saturday Morning Service:\u00a0 10:50AM \u2013 12:00Noon<\/p><p>Saturday Afternoon Service:\u00a0 1:30PM \u2013 2:40PM<\/p><p>Email us at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:ilovejesus@tjc-chicago.org\">ilovejesus@tjc-chicago.org<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finding True Joy: Embracing God as Our Shepherd Let me share something close to my heart \u2013 the secret to true joy.
