In your mind’s eye, see and hear a shepherd calling out to his sheep, and the sheep immediately responding to it. See the sheep willingly follow their protector and provider.

How well do you know the voice of your Shepherd? Explain.
Do you consider the choice path of your Good Shepherd to be trustworthy? Keep in mind His sacrificial love. Explain.

And walk in love, just as Christ also loved us and gave himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma. Ephesians 5:2
Dear Lord,
May we follow in your footsteps and walk in your love, especially when we don't want to. Fill us up with your sweet-smelling, sacrificial Spirit and give us the determination to keep on pouring out...just the way you did when you climbed the hill of Calvary. In your Name, Amen.
