Following The Good Shepherd!

Following The Good Shepherd!
Who are you listening to or following today? There is a cacophony of voices in this world seeking to fill our ears and minds with lies and false information. Research shows animal and human newborns can recognize their mothers' voices very soon after birth. That bond is critical for our survival! As John chapter 10 reveals, learning to recognize and follow the Good Shepherd's voice is also critical for our survival. Friends, learning to discern his voice has never been more important than today!
As followers, knowing we belong to the fold and can trust our Good Shepherd is comforting. The more time we spend in his presence, the clearer we can recognize his voice amid the lies around us. Our Good Shepherd tells us, "The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly (10:10)." If you are looking for abundant life amid the litany of lies and broken promises today, I encourage you to listen to the Good Shepherd's voice in word and prayer daily. Let Jesus, our Good Shepherd provide, protect and direct your life with his unconditional, unfailing love!
Onward and Upward!
Fr. Greg+
