Sheep

Jeremiah 50:6 (MSG) "My people were lost sheep. Their shepherds led them astray. They abandoned them in the mountains where they wandered aimless through the hills. They lost track of home, couldn't remember where they came from.

Today we have many lost sheep, sheep without shepherds. They wander looking for a shepherd and follow every noise that sounds like a shepherd. As they have never known a shepherd they don't know what one smells like, sounds like.

These sheep are lovely but lost, empty for direction. Someone has to love enough to win their hearts and gently lead them. They are skittish as they have become cautious.

Last night I met with a mother and her two daughters, not long separated from marriage and lost, looking for direction.

The daughters have been invited to come to DivorceCare4Kids and they are willing. They are beautiful but lost. Their mum did DivorceCare last year and is now enrolled to do Boundaries.

May we prove to be good shepherds and love these sheep and bring them to good pastures.

Father speak to our hearts, may we see with Your eyes, hear with Your ears, love with Your heart. Amen!

Lord give us the harvest! Amen!
