Holy Spirit help me have faith in Jesus as my ‘ Good Shepherd’...

John 10: 11-18
                                              
All good leaders, whether he or she is a boss, a coordinator, a captain, a king, a parent, professor, priest, or president – of a shepherd – have two characteristics in common.  They are entirely dedicated to their responsibilities, and they know, and are known by, those whom they lead. By identifying himself as a ‘good Shepherd’, Jesus  not only underscores his dedication to us as his ‘sheep’ (he gave up his life for us) and his personalized interest and care (he knows us by name) but he also demonstrated his unflinching and lively care for us – to protect, guide, and nurture us (me) day in and day out.  Like every ‘good’ leader, Jesus knows what we need – what I need –and lays down his life to provide it.  Do I trust Jesus more than any other leader with my life?  Holy Spirit, help me have faith in Jesus as my ‘Good Shepherd’.
 
O send your light and your truth, let them lead me.  (Psalm 42: )
 
We do not have to wait for the hereafter - it is now that we are one with Christ.
