The Shepherd

I myself will gather the few remaining sheep from all the countries where I have driven them. I will bring them back to their pasture, and they will be fruitful and multiply. ~ Jeremiah 23:3 CEB)

I have other sheep that don’t belong to this sheep pen. I must lead them too. They will listen to my voice and there will be one flock, with one shepherd. ~ John 10:16 (CEB)

Lord:

THANKS: I appreciate your constant care -- not just for your special sheep but for all your sheep. 

REGRETS: I'm inclined to only care about the sheep in my own pen -- and especially for the sheep who cooperate with me. My vision is too small.

INTERCESSION: Enlarge my vision and grow my capacity to care.

PURPOSE: One flock and one shepherd -- who is you!

Amen.
