Lord Jesus, our good shepherd who cares for us, we thank you for being our entrance into the kingdom – into safety and into a community of love. May our hearts be filled with gratitude that overflows into praise for your goodness to us now and always, through you who sits enthroned at the right hand of the Father in the Holy Spirit. Amen. “So again Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.” – John 10:7
