Ephesians 3:8-12. John 10:11-16

I am the shepherd of the Father's sheep, appointed to redeem and save and to retrieve all straying from the fold as they desire and seek their return. I hold the weak within My loving care and hold the lambs within My warm embrace.

The truth is for all sons of men in every race and place and time, the light available for all who seek. I am the way, the truth, the life, the door into the sheepfold and the caring, loving shepherd. For love I came into the Father's world: from love I came and I reveal the power and meaning of Love's Being.

Pray to live in love continually that you may come into the fullness of eternal life and increasingly become Our means of others finding it. Abide in Me and let Me live more fully in you day by day. I am the True Vine, imparting life and sustenance to the faithful and the true of heart.

I am the Bread of Life. Feed on My word and Presence: I will enlighten and empower according to the measure of your self-giving, and Our Holy Spirit will increasingly lead and guide as you continue faithful.
