The Lamb

⚔️SAINTS:
Resurrection Sunday is approaching real soon; this Sunday to be exact.
The Bummer Lamb; are you one? Every once in awhile, a ewe will give birth to a lamb & reject it. There are many reasons she may do this. If the lamb is returned to the ewe, the mother may even kick the poor animal
away. Once a ewe rejects one of her lambs, she will never change her mind. These little lambs will hang their heads so low that it looks like something is wrong with its neck. Their spirit is broken.
These lambs are called “ Bummer Lambs” & unless the Shepherd intervenes, that lamb will die, rejected & alone. So, do you know what the Shepherd does? He takes the rejected little one into his home, hand feeds it & keeps it warm by the fire. He will wrap it up with blankets & hold it to his chest so the bummer can hear his heartbeat. Once the lamb is strong enough, the Shepherd will place it back in the field with the rest of the flock. But the sheep never forgets how the Shepherd cared for him when his mother rejected him.
When the Shepherd calls for the flock, guess who runs to him first? That’s right, the bummer sheep.
He knows his voice immediately. It is not that the bummer lamb is loved more; it just knows immediately the one who loves it. It is not that it is loved more, it just believes it because it has experienced that love one on one.
So many of us are bummer lambs, rejected & broken. But he is the good Shepherd. He cares for our every need & holds us close to His heart so we can hear His heartbeat. We may be broken but we are deeply loved by the good Shepherd,(JESUS).

Happy Resurrection Day
