1 Samuel 23; Psalm 31 & 54; Matthew 7

How does a sheep who thinks she's a sheep dog operate??

I want to be like Jonathan to David.....

David wanted the encouragement....took the challenge later....turned wholeheartedly over and over to You....

I have a nephew making some choices right now that in his youth I don't think he knows the impact they are going to have.....there's a very young girl and now a baby on the way.....he grew up less than ideally due to choices his mom made.....there's so much at stake from where I sit....and sitting in judgement is probably what it 'feels' like to him...I imagine that's what a sheep dog looks like to people....like I'm thinking I know more than they do...I am after all simply another sheep......a sheep dog looks to protect those in her charge....Brent is not in my charge.....I can't protect anyone.....how do I love him where he's at and encourage him in You....??
