The Sheep

I saw something this morning, whilst out on the bike which was such a visible reminder of God’s love for us. I was cycling past a sheep farm and one sheep escaped and was running in and alongside the road, this silly sheep was putting himself and passing motorists in a great deal of danger.  The farmer had stopped and was running around trying to round this one lost sheep up – but this was one stubborn sheep and he (it had to be a boy sheep) was having none of it, running round in circles doing its best to avoid the farmer.
Coming back along the same road I saw that the farmer was still busy trying to get this sheep back to safety, into the fold. 
It was just such a beautiful picture and a reminder that my God will not give up on me, he is persistent and relentless in his love for me – he is committed to my salvation and wellbeing.

“The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” – Luke 19:10 (GN)
