:::ShEpHeRd Of My SoUL:::

~shepherd of my soul, i give You full control. wherever You may lead i'll follow~ Jesus says, " I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep." (Jn 10:11) He too, calls us to be shepherds for the lost, to lay down his life for his flocks, am I one of them?

~~ The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. (Psalm 23) ~~

I love this verse particularly, it tells me that whenever i'm weak, my shepherd is always there for me. I'm just like the sheep, who's always lost and afraid - who's there to lead us? only GOD alone can do that.

~there's this story about the sheep: sheeps are a bunch of stupid, clumsy animals. they have short legs but a rounded body. they tend to fell down facing up in the air. they will tend to struggle when they fell down, after some time he will slowly ties for suffocating by choking its windpipe when it struggles. a good shepherd'll then have to find the falling sheep, comfort him and help him get back to its feet. and bring it to drink the water before he could stand up and join back its flock of friends.~

that's what a good shepherd should do - to care for and help his sheep. GOD is my shepherd who helps me, He in turn calls me to shepherding other sheeps, I need to learnt how to care for my sheeps and the lost sheeps. May God give me more grace to handle wif it.
