As Jesus is the Shepherd, He is the One Who guides the sheep.
Well, figuratively, I had wandered far from the fold.
It was like I was a boat without the oars or a person to steer me.
I was drifting further out to sea and wasn't able to stop.
Then the Lord stepped up and took the rope pulling me back.
He allowed me the freedom of making a choice to follow Him.
Knowing I had no where to turn I was quickly resigned to follow Jesus.
Wandering from the fold was over and today I am a new creature.
There is the sense of belonging I have wanted for so many years.
Jesus is the One Who willingly gave this.
