We Are the Sheep

We are the sheep. He is the Shepherd. We are His. We can boldly go out into the pastures of the world knowing we will be kept from harm. We know that we will be well-fed, for He always provides the nourishment we need. We don’t know how He will do it. But He knows. 

We are the sheep. He is the Shepherd. He keeps us agreeably watered, satisfying our deepest thirst. We often go astray thinking we can quench it ourselves. But we can’t. 

We are the sheep. He is the Shepherd. There are times He chooses to keep us in the pen. We don’t know why. But He knows and that is enough. 

We are the sheep. He is the Shepherd. We follow Him across the bright, soft hills and through the dark-stained valleys. And through it all we trust Him, for we have seen that He loves us so much, He is willing to die for us. 

We are the sheep. He is the Shepherd. We are His. There is nothing we need do but receive His love, and love Him back.

I hope this encourages you today.
