Forever Faithful

This is the last episode of Season 21 of the True Girl podcast. Did you think we’d spend so much time talking about sheep and gates? Okay, if you’ve listened for a while and know that Dannah has a farm, maybe you weren’t surprised.

But more than that, we’ve talked about how gratitude begins with a joyful noise, that it helps us worship with gladness, that it grows when we remember we’re God’s sheep, and that thanksgiving is the gateway into His presence.

The Gate to Gratitude

In the Bible gates were really important. They weren’t just wooden doors or stone arches. Gates were symbols of protection, of decisions, of entering into something new. In the last episode, we talked about shepherds being the “gate” for their sheep. Today, we’re going to picture what it means to step through God’s gate with thanksgiving.

Psalm 100, verse 4 says, “Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and bless his name.”

Sheep in His Pasture

So far in this season, we’ve learned that gratitude begins with a joyful noise and that it can steady us when life doesn’t go as planned. But there’s another kind of gratitude that runs even deeper—the kind that comes from knowing exactly who you belong to.

Think about it: one of the scariest feelings is being left out. Like when you walk into the lunchroom, tray in hand, and you don’t know where to sit. Everyone wants a place to belong. And Psalm 100, verse 3 tells us that no matter what, we do belong . . . to God. We are His sheep. His people.

Steps Toward Forgiveness

We’re starting season 20 of the True Girl podcast, and this one’s called “Songs for the Climb.” We’re gonna learn what to do when we feel really sinful . . . and all of us feel that way sometimes. Girls face lots of different kinds of guilt and shame from things like being mean to our brothers and sisters, or lying to our parents, or gossiping about a friend. We all sin. But God’s Word teaches us that no matter what we do, we can be forgiven.
