“My sheep hear my voice … no one can take them out of the Father’s hand.”
There are times I purposely refuse to listen to the voice of the shepherd. I block out his voice with distraction, noise, and busyness. During these moments, I want to do what I want to do so I immerse myself in the world. This shutting out the voice of the shepherd never ends well. My desire to try and save myself is a fools errand. It brings me great relief to know that the Father never tires of holding me in His hands and is quick to offer forgiveness and the unconditional love and protection of the shepherd. All I have to do is listen for his voice.
