“Your beauty and love chase after me every day of my life.”
Psalm 23:6a
As the Good Shepherd leads the flock toward home, Beauty and Love, like two tireless sheepdogs, bring up the rear. Every day they work the fields and watch over the flock. No need to fear what is behind, or what is on either side.
Beauty and Love are pursuers, quick to pick up the scent of a beloved stray and even quicker to track it down. When the sheep begin to wander aimlessly, Beauty chases down one flank and Love the other. The two keep the flock together. Safety is in the fold. They guard the rear and watch the flanks, always quick to intervene.
As you move toward the end of your forty days with Christ, reflect on the following …
Reflection
When was the last time that you strayed away from the flock?
In what ways has the beauty and love of Christ chased after you?
How is Christ pursuing you every day of your life?
