all I need

The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.
He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams.
He renews my strength.
He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name.

Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.
You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies.
You honor me by anointing my head with oil.
My cup overflows with blessings.
Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.
(Psalm 23:1-6 NLT)

My shepherd is so good to me. To His credit, He provides for my every need: food, rest, leadership, guidance, protection. He carries me when I am too weak to walk, He directs my path when I am confused, He knows my every real need and meets it. Even more! He honors me with anointing and overflowing blessings. Amazing grace! And He never gives up on me. When I wander off, He pursues me -- not in anger, but in His goodness and with His unfailing love which desires the best for me. And here's the best part: I am His forever. I belong to Jesus, the best shepherd, the Shepherd to beat all shepherds. The Matchless One.
