Feeding Sheep
John 21:17
The third time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my sheep."
As we step into this new work week, let us remember for whom we work. If we really love Jesus, then our work is for Him. And, the work He calls us to is to feed His sheep. The sheep we have the opportunity to feed include every person with whom we come in contact.
The grumpy boss and the tardy employee, the cranky customer and the sad passerby, the peer in the next cubicle and the guy who cleans up after us, ALL need to be fed. Let's grab a bag of sheep feed and get to feeding. Sprinkle a little lovingkindness here and a little grace there. Pour out a gentle word here and a caring shoulder there. Absorb a cutting remark here and offer a leg up there.
The sheep are hungry!
A fellow feeder,
Lon
