Before I learned to answer you, I wandered all over the place,
but now I’m in step with your Word.
JOHN 21:16 (NLT)
Jesus repeated the question: “Simon son of John, do you love me?”
“Yes, Lord,” Peter said, “you know I love you.”
“Then take care of my sheep,” Jesus said.
THE ESSENCE

DAILY FODDER
Experience the discipline you're undergoing as an act of love that develops character necessary to fulfill your calling.
PRAYER
Thank you, Jesus, for entrusting me with the care of vulnurable people. I confess that sometimes I pushback against the discipline I'm going through. Help me appreciate the value of both my calling and training. I know that I love you, and because you ask, I want to feed your sheep. Amen.
