Backstory:
I was thinking about the story in Luke 15:3-7 of the shepherd leaving the 99 sheep to go after the one that was lost. The thought came to me that we are each the one for Jesus. He loves each one of us and cares for us individually. He would leave the 99 to go after each one of us when we are lost. He is the personal Savior for every one of us.
The Shepherd of the One
As a shepherd tends to his sheep,
Their safety in his heart runs deep.
If one of them lost its way,
He would go after it all day.
He would rejoice once his lost sheep was found,
And the joy that he felt would spread all around.
Jesus is our Master Shepherd,
And His depth of love cannot be measured.
As one of His sheep, if I went astray,
He’d lift up His voice to the Father to pray.
He would search for me all day long,
Because with Him, I always belong.
He would rejoice when He found me,
And the love in His eyes I would clearly see.
He is my Personal Redeemer and Savior,
And because of Him, I shouldn’t feel like a failure.
He suffered for me as if I was the only one,
And fulfilled His mission as the Chosen Son.
He weeps with me when I feel pain in my heart,
And from me, He never wants to depart.
The Takeaway: Jesus, as our Shepherd, loves each one of us very much. If we lose our way, He would search for us and rejoice when we are found. He suffered for each one of us individually. He will be beside us every day. We just need to reach out to Him, and He will help us through our hardest days.
