Jesus said,
"I am the Good Shepherd; and
there are other sheep I have that
are not of this fold, and these I
have to lead as well. They too will
listen to My voice and there will
be only one flock and one Shepherd"
John
10.16
I am the thought in the mind which
brings My beloved child to the feet
of the Father. I am the love in
the heart of My beloved child which
incorporates him into the substance
of Our being. And I am the means
of his progress, the flowering of
his unique personality, and because
of My initiative, My continued Presence
within him and My perfecting of
his each endeavour, every single
child of the Father whoever was
the world over who continues in
faithful response (however fitfully)
has his place in the Father's Kingdom
of eternal joy.
Every sheep who wanders I ceaselessly
search for and seek to retrieve,
from the moment of his first sign
of returning in hope I lovingly
guide him into the safety of the
fold. And each fold I visit, surround
with My saving love, and make secure
for those who remain within it.
And each fold is dear to Me as
My own life. For each I died, and
the power of My risen life is for
the building of each fold and all
within it into the fabric of the
Father's Kingdom. So must every
one of the Father's beloved children
love, care for and pray for the
many folds of the Father's world
on earth and all within their confines.
