Where…

Side by Side with our Shepherd and His herd of us (His sheep).

In this “Valley of the Shadow of Death”

also called earth…

Psalm 23:1-4 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures;He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul;He guides me in the paths of righteousnessFor His name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I fear no evil, for You are with me;Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

It isn’t Heaven… 

John 16:33 These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”

But it is our temporary home… our playground… our neighbor(hood). Here is where we are called to minister.
