I always believe that we are/were like a lost sheep who lean on our own understanding to live out our life, but God our sole shepherd is always patiently waiting for us to trust and rely on Him.

I hope these illustrations will bring hope, strength & smile back to you, in your struggle to overcome difficult times.
