From the words of American pastor and Christian teacher, Charles Stanley: “Many voices compete for our attention, but abundant life comes when we listen to our Good Shepherd.”
Good Shepherd’s voice
Searching for sheep
Finding lost ones
Mercy won’t sleep
Recognizing
True Shepherd’s Word
His voice shares grace
Forever heard
Good Shepherd’s faith
Persistence heeds
Calling His sheep
Voice gently leads
Shepherd holding
Salvation’s keys
Closed gate opens
God’s voice agrees
As faithful sheep
Hearing His voice
Safely at home
Always rejoice
Coming to Christ
Believers walk
Trusting His voice
Hope’s solid rock
From John 10:3-5: “The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. They will not follow a stranger, but they will run from him because they do not know the voice of strangers.”

I have always been fond of thinking of Christ as the good Shepherd. I also collect artwork depicting Christ in this way. Now I have a wonderful poem to add to my collection! Thanks!
