      INTRODUCTION

      1 Peter 2:25

      For you were like sheep going astray,

      but now you have returned to the

      Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

      1 John 4:18

      There is no fear in love;

      but perfect love casts out fear.

      For fear involves punishment,

      And the one who fears

      is not perfected in love.

      What does it feel like overcoming fears and doubts to trust again

      after you looked for a real love in all the wrong faces and places?

      Where do you run to when love becomes total disappointment?

      Who will replace emptiness deep inside after loss of loved one?

      Do you know that God longs to be your eternal love?

      He wants to guide you with the direction you need on

      spiritual sojourn through life. Only God knows where

      and when journey will come to its ultimate end. What

      we can be sure of is even in wavering wayfarer heart

      a faithful companion is longed for to share the voyage.

      Spending time praying and communing with Jesus you

      will find the joyful revelation that you are His beloved.
