The Lord is my shepherd; I
have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; He leads me beside
peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths,
bringing honor to His name. Psalm 23:1–3 NLT
When I was a young
believer, I heard a preacher say, “In order to draw a straying lamb to him, a
shepherd will break its legs. When it’s unable to walk, he will nurse the lamb
back to health. Once it’s healthy again, the lamb will be attached to him.”
That terrifying picture of a shepherd stuck in my head for years!
One day, I was able to ask
a real shepherd if that story was true. Aghast, he replied, “That’s nonsense!
What kind of shepherd does that?”
