One More Disciple

I received this story from a person close to me. It sorta speaks for itself and what we are to be doing as disciples of Jesus. Enjoy the post and I'll be intrigued to read your comments about how God has spoken to you. I include a scripture at the bottom

A Fellow Christian Sojourner & One More Disciple of the Christ, Jesus

OMD

Just up the road from my home is a field, with two horses in it. From a distance, each horse looks like any other horse. But if you stop your car,or are walking by, you will notice something...

Looking into the eyes of one horse will disclose that he is blind. His owner has chosen

not to have him put down, but has made a good home for him.

This alone is amazing.

If you stand nearby and listen, you will hear the sound of a bell. Looking around for the

source of the sound, you will see that it comes from the smaller horse in the field.

Attached to the horse's halter is a small bell.It lets the blind friend know where the

other horse is, so he can follow.

As you stand and watch these two friends, you'll see that the horse with the bell is

always checking on the blind horse, and that the blind horse will listen for the bell and

then slowly walk to where the other horse is, trusting that he will not be led astray.

When the horse with the bell returns to the shelter of the barn each evening, it stops

occasionally and looks back, making sure that the blind friend isn't too far behind to hear

the bell.

Like the owners of these two horses, God does not throw us away just because we are

not perfect or because we have problems or challenges. He watches over us and even

brings others into our lives to help us when we are in need.

Sometimes we are the blind horse being guided by the little ringing bell of those who God

places in our lives. Other times we are the guide horse, helping others to find their

way...

Good friends are like that... You may not always see them, but you know they are always

there.

Please listen for my bell and I'll listen for yours.

And remember...Bekinder than necessary -

Everyone you meet is fighting somekind of battle.

Live simply,

Love generously,

Care deeply,

Speak kindly....

Leave the rest to God

Scripture from Romans 8:31-39

...31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?

32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?

33 Who will bring a charge against God's elect? God is the one who justifies;

34 who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.

35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 Just as it is written, "FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG; WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED."

37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.

38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
