John 10:11 (Rickey Leevite Insight Scriptures) I am the Good (Greek "kalos") Shepherd that is Honorably Honest, Beautifully Benevolent in Kindness and compassion; Excellently Excelling, in the Admirable Appealing, heart of inspiration that is pleasantly Pleasing and attractive to My Sheep to follow My Shepherd Heart that is leading My Sheep by My Goodness and Mercy that Loves them all the days of their life, and is willing to take the risks of My own reputation, and the cost of my very own life, that I lay down for My own preciously prized sheep.
I was once driving down the interstate highway when some one in another car did something extremely risky and dangerous that could've caused an accident with me and another driver. I was so shocked and angry that I laid on my horn until he was about a half a mile ahead of me. After I let up off my horn, God - The Holy Spirit spoke to me loud and clear, on the inside of me and said "well congratulations Rick, you just cursed that person out with the horn of your heart, by your angry attitude of hatred." Then, He continued saying " Rick, What if it was I, that allowed that person to come across your pathway so that you could pray for them, because they were going to die from a car accident, further up the road, and go straight to Hell for all eternity? These words of God were like a sudden slap in the face, of painful God perspective on this situation that woke me up to the reality of my selfish human nature, and perspective of self-preservation! I was ashamed of my narcissistic attitude that only cared about myself, and totally missed a God opportunity to pass the test of Loves Maturity that lays its own life down to save another, just like Yeshua did for me at Calvary. I had never considered the fact that God, who knows all things, would allow this dangerous, life threatening person to cross my path, all for the purpose of needing someone to pray and break the self-destructive cycle of demonic oppression off of their life. I cried, and confessed my guilt to God and repented before Him, for my prideful narcissistic thinking and responding.
