Lamb

I now understand the analogy between the shepherd and the sheep.

I truly am a lamb in the eyes of Jesus. And it must be so difficult to get your flock to a better place in a terrain such as this world. I stumble and I get stuck, I constantly cry out to my shepherd because I'm in peril. And I'm in peril because I'm without him, without him I'd be lost, I'd be eaten up by wolves. And I'm so afraid to be left behind, but every time, I just can no longer get up, he comes to me and picks me up and carries me just a little bit further from the place where I was stumbling. He is teaching me how to walk, how to traverse this land, how to truly become a sheep, who can finally climb mountains ever so high, but who would never leave their Loving shepherd, because that's who made you who you are. And yes ofc I have highs and I have lows, darkness overcomes me day in and day out, but every time I turn to him I try a little harder not to rely on him, but every single time I just stumble and get hurt more than before, I need him to survive, that's quite literal. And I let him lead me, because I know my shepherd is the only one who knows how to get out of this forsaken land and into better places. He literally is the light in the darkness. I've traveled the darkness for long enough, I am enjoying the presence of his light. I will follow. And be it a shooting star, not many even notice, because they don't look to the sky. But if you follow, you will see it :)
