Quote of the week
“When the work of shepherding leads us to pride, judgment, superiority, or deception, we have forgotten that we are a lamb. A shepherd who is not first a lamb is a dangerous shepherd and has ceased to follow the Good Shepherd. Our primary identity in life, if we are to be eternal value to the Father, is not that of a shepherd but that of a lamb.”
