Day 2 The I AM sayings of Jesus
“I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.” John 10:9
Lord, of gate and open door I come to you today seeking entrance into your living presence. May each door I open this day be the place where I find your will and intention, your love and your direction and in that journeying find opportunities to encourage others along your way. Amen
The fold enclosed. the entrance there
To pastures near, a place to wend
Where we like sheep could go and stare,
Watched by our loving shepherd friend.
Protecting, guiding, sentry nigh
Across the entrance gate he lie
With careful watch, and eagle eye
Protecting, guiding all the while
With body on the ground he kneels
As entrance gate set there to bar
Each thief, each foe set out to steal
Within our fold our peace to scar.
Yet to the sheep within his care
He lovingly affords, allows,
Each one a time to go and share
In pastural lea beneath leafs bows.
O Gate divine, O Entrance rare
None can we find, with none compare
The safety and your selfless gift
You give to us, our lives to lift.
