"When the Good Shepherd speaks to His own, He never uses words of-Despair, hopelessness, frustration, defeat, discouragement, fear, confusion, or failure. Instead, he gives His sheep words of-Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. He will speak peace unto His people." Psalm 85:8
