Good Shepherd

John 10:27-28
“My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish. No one can take them out of my hand.”

We are the sheep of the Good Shepherd who cares tenderly for each sheep. Jesus says he knows each of us. That means He knows both the light and the shadow side of each of us. Jesus doesn’t say we have to get rid of the shadow side before He will care for us. The love of God does not depend on our meriting it. It is total gift. Eternal life is a gift. Jesus promises that no one can take you out of His hand. Doesn’t that make you want to listen for His voice…and to follow Him?

Suggested song of the day– “I Want to Follow You” on the Listen to Your Heart album.
