Jesus said,
"I am the good Shepherd….
And I lay down My live for the sheep.
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
10:11
"All the beasts of the forest
are Mine: so are the cattle upon
a thousand hills." So has the
Father spoken through His word,
revealing His identity and continued
love for all His creation. And Me
He has appointed to be Shepherd
of His children, His sons and daughters
whom He has created to glorify His
Holy Name and become His love on
earth and in eternity. Each one
I lead and teach and train and tend
as he responds in faithfulness.
For each I died and rose again and
offer him My risen life to build
him up in truth and goodness and
in loving service to the Father
and his fellow men.
As each sheep is Mine, as the loving
Heavenly Father has appointed, so
is each fold. I minister to each
and every one and seek to bring
and be the Father's love in ways
which one day each will recognise.
I look to those who know My voice
to love and care about the sheep
of other folds as I enable. My joy
will be perfected when each sheep
and every fold are gathered in according
to the Father's will and loving
purpose.
