We are just Sheep

Hello Everyone,


A lady visiting the Holy Land once came upon a sheepfold located high on a hilltop. Her attention was drawn to one poor sheep lying by the side of the road bleating in pain. Looking more closely, she discovered that its leg was injured. She asked the shepherd how it happened. "I had to break it myself," he answered sadly. "It was the only way I could keep that wayward creature from straying into unsafe places. From past experience I have found that a sheep will follow me once I have nursed it back to health. Because of the loving relationship that will be established as I care for her, in the future she will come instantly at my beck and call."

Sometimes we poor human sheep also want our stubborn ways and as a result stray into dangerous paths until the Good Shepherd may have to send sorrow and pain on us. Which brings a sweeter and closer communion with our Savior. Let me ask, is this the only time the Lord can get your attention?


"My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth." Proverbs 3:11,12
