….and I lay down My life for
My sheep. And there are other sheep
I have that are not of this fold,
and these I Jesus said, "I am
the Good Shepherd. The good shepherd
is one who lays down his life for
the sheep. I am the Good Shepherd
have to lead as well".
John 10:11-16
All My sheep know that they are
safe in My keeping because I have
bought them at a great price and
continually bestow upon them the
power and joy of my saving love.
So when they stray I minister to
them and restore them, and when
they are sad and sorrowful I encourage
them.
But all the sheep of the forest
are Mine, so are the cattle upon
a thousand hills, and I minister
to them all. True, they do not all
see and know me as their saviour,
protector and friend, but those
who are pure in mind and true of
heart commune often with Me. As
the Father and I are one, so are
all who relate to Him. So they and
I are one.
And all who know and love the Father’s
Name , receiving and relating to
His Life and Being, lay down their
life before Him in love and praise
and thankfulness. And as he takes
and blesses every life laid down
before Him, so does He multiply
each part, distributing to His needy,
hungry world. And at the last all
will be gathered in with great rejoicing
into one flock, one shepherd and
one love.
