The herding Spirit of God

It is funny sometimes how life herds you toward something that you don't want to face. That has been happening lately in my life. If I had a choice, I think I would run the other way. But like sheep being directed through a gate, life leads us to inevitable choices sometimes - or is that lack of choices.

I am reminded that Papa never leaves us. I know that He will never forsake. I also know that He will herd and direct us, even if we don't want to go. And as painful as that can be sometimes, it is comforting to know that He is in charge.

I suspect that the herding of the Holy Spirit will lead me to the foot of the cross - whether I like it or not, and whether I want to go there or not.
