The Way Of The Shepherd

The way of Jesus, our Shepherd, is one of care, guidance, and deep, unfailing love. He doesn’t drive us with fear—He leads us with gentleness. When we stray, He searches for us. When we’re weary, He carries us. In every valley and on every mountain, the Shepherd is present, watching over His sheep with tender compassion and strong protection.
John 10:14 says, “I am the good shepherd. I know my sheep, and my sheep know me” (NCV). Jesus doesn’t just lead us; He knows us by name. He understands our needs, hears our cries, and goes before us to prepare the path. His way is safe, not because it’s easy, but because He walks it with us.
What ever happens in life, the Shepherd is there to take care of us and watch we don’t stray far away. Continue to follow Him, trusting in His heart and direction.
