Have you ever heard a lost lamb? One who cannot find its mom? It is LOUD! And incessant! Never ending bleating. If the lamb is truly lost it is a very frightening sound.
Well, on our Funny Farm last week we had our adult sheep sheared. Right in the middle of the heat wave, the sheep were relieved of their heavy coats of wool. And that is exactly when the chaos began.
The moms didn’t have that same distinguishing “aroma” of a year’s worth of dirty wool and the lambs could no longer “find” their moms. The lambs paced and cried all while their mom, their source of comfort, was standing nearby the whole time!
Jesus is our Good Shepherd. We don’t have to feel lost. He is nearby.
“God did this so that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from any one of us.” Acts 17:27
