00:00:08,165 --> 00:00:16,805
Speaker 1: Life Audio from the Salvation Army Welcome to Heartbeat. There's

2
00:00:16,845 --> 00:00:20,285
Speaker 1: an old story of a boy who cried wolf. A

3
00:00:20,325 --> 00:00:23,644
Speaker 1: young shepherd, bored and restless, kept sounding the alarm just

4
00:00:23,724 --> 00:00:26,645
Speaker 1: to get attention, until the day the danger was real

5
00:00:26,845 --> 00:00:29,565
Speaker 1: and no one believed him. It's a simple tale, but

6
00:00:29,685 --> 00:00:32,205
Speaker 1: there's a grown up truth in it. Life will send

7
00:00:32,245 --> 00:00:35,005
Speaker 1: real wolves our way. But here's the difference for us

8
00:00:35,045 --> 00:00:38,644
Speaker 1: as Christians. We don't stand on the hill alone. Jesus

9
00:00:38,644 --> 00:00:42,284
Speaker 1: calls himself the good Shepherd, steady present and always watching.

10
00:00:42,725 --> 00:00:44,925
Speaker 1: He doesn't roll his eyes at our fear or get

11
00:00:44,964 --> 00:00:48,605
Speaker 1: tired of our cries for help. He comes running, He protects,

12
00:00:48,845 --> 00:00:51,485
Speaker 1: he guides, He lays down his life for the sheep.

13
00:00:52,125 --> 00:00:54,285
Speaker 1: So when the wolves show up, don't rely on your

14
00:00:54,325 --> 00:00:57,725
Speaker 1: own strength. Don't pretend you've got it handled. Call out

15
00:00:57,765 --> 00:01:00,885
Speaker 1: to the shepherd who never stops listening in his presence.

16
00:01:01,125 --> 00:01:05,605
Speaker 1: Fear loses its teeth, and you are never ever alone.
