Hello fellow sheep! We are all sheep following one Chief Shepard.
2Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; 3not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. 4And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away. 1 Peter 5:2-3
We are all sheep, whether we believe or we do not. Some sheep are lost and need to be brought back into the fold. Be examples to the flock because you never know who's watching your every step. Yet do not lord yourself over those entrusted to you. In other words do not see yourself as higher than anyone but see them as equal. And do it all with the hope of eternal glory. It's just a good verse, check it out.

"All of us like sheep have gone astray, seeking our own way. We've left the Shepherd's care again. Through the wilderness we wander in the hopelessness of sin. We must run into His arms from where we've been.
So let us return to the Lord, let our hearts burn for the Lord. Only His love will save us. For though our lives are broken, He will mend and restore our hope again. Come, let us return to the Lord.
By His grace alone we have been saved, rescued from the grave, and through His blood we have new life. May the passion of our first love bring us to our knees! We can know the heart of God if we believe."
This was a song we sang in chorale this year. I thought it fit in well with your post!
thanks! I like it!
