Job 18; Psalm 114; Acts 27-28

I think I am a sheepdog......

Sitting with a gal this morning and all she needs, is to be pointed back to my Shepherd, her Shepherd....she needs to know maybe that He doesn't give up, that He wants her and has a 'sheepdog' out there to point her back to Him. I don't know and yet the ease with which she accepts my nipping at her heels...the conviction - certainty with which I know that's all she needs...I don't know and yet maybe i do...You created me to be so certain of You, like a sheepdog is her Master that everyone would want to be His....I don't know......maybe it's that I'm just another protected sheep of His flock and not a sheepdog....I don't know...what if...I just don't know.

And then Acts 28:6-8 it doesn't matter, can't matter what people think...it's You. I can't worry about pleasing people, I can only do what You say do and You tell me over and over....that it's about Jesus and pointing people, helping people, walking with people there......I don't know how to communicate it....I simply know it's about You and maybe in that knowing You bring people to me that I can share that with. After all a sheepdog only does what her Master tells her, she's not fixated on the sheep, she is fixated on Him.
