Jesus used this metaphor to communicate with his followers. The survival of sheep depends on the existence of a shepherd who cares.
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep. A hired hand will run when he sees a wolf coming. He will abandon the sheep because they don’t belong to him and he isn’t their shepherd. And so the wolf attacks them and scatters the flock. The hired hand runs away because he’s working only for the money and doesn’t really care about the sheep.
“I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me, just as my Father knows me and I know the Father. So I sacrifice my life for the sheep. I have other sheep, too, that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them also. They will listen to my voice, and there will be one flock with one shepherd.”
John 10: 11-16 (NLT).

“Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story— those he redeemed from the hand of the foe.”

Greetings 👋
Here’s an important passage that my friend @patsylevang5 shared this morning. It’s always worth reflecting on the deeper meaning of these words.
“The Narrow and Wide Gates
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”
Matthew 7:13-14 (NIV)
This is a sobering warning. It suggests that the vast majority of people who profess faith may actually be traveling the broad road that leads to destruction. Pray that you and your loved ones are among the few walking the narrow path that leads to life.

Good morning 🌞
Yesterday was a rough day for me. I’m dealing with a rare emotion for me—anger 😡—and asking for forgiveness and more humility. I need to cultivate more of the fruit of the Spirit 🍎.
This scripture is speaking to my heart today:
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”
1 John 1:9 (NIV)
Have you ever felt this way? What helps you when anger shows up, or which scriptures encourage you in moments like these? I’d love to hear from you. 🙏
