Our loving Abba-Father has sent Jesus to us to shepherd us – lead, guide, feed, care for, and love us. We have all experienced that loving presence in our lives, more strongly at some times than other. We can truly proclaim that: “The LORD is my Shepherd, there is nothing I shall want.” But the challenge that this imposes on us is that we need to reach out and shepherd others with the same loving care we have received. We are called to share what we have received and further the mission and ministry of our GOoD Shepherd by compassionately shepherding those whom GOD has placed in our lives. May you continue to experience the loving care of the Good Shepherd and may the Holy Spirit prompt you to share that loving care with those whom GOD our Abba Father has entrusted to your care.
