Family, yesterday we reflected on God’s faithfulness—how He continues to love us even when we are not at our best. We revisited the parable Jesus shared about the Good Shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine to go after the one that is lost.
Here is the beautiful truth about our precious Savior and Shepherd:
Not only does Jesus come after us when we are lost and searching for our way back—He calls us by name.
He knows your name.
He knows my name.
The God who created time and space, who set the stars in place and calls them each by name, knows you personally. He is not distant. He is not guessing. He is not confused about who you are.
When you feel overlooked… He calls your name.
When you feel forgotten… He calls your name.
When you feel unworthy… He still calls your name.
And His voice is not harsh—it is filled with love, compassion, and pursuit.
Scripture Passage of the Day
John 10:2-3
New International Version
2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
Let Us Pray
Spirit of the Living God, Thank You for being the Shepherd who knows me—truly knows me—not as part of a crowd, but as Your own. You see me, You call me, and You never confuse my voice with another.
Lord Jesus, You said that Your sheep hear Your voice. Teach my heart to recognize You more clearly. Quiet every distraction, every competing voice, every fear that tries to pull me away from Your leading. Help me to lean in, to listen closely, and to trust what I hear when You speak.
When I feel lost, remind me that You are still calling my name. When I feel unseen, remind me that I have always been known by You. When I am hesitant to follow, give me the courage to step forward, knowing that Your voice only leads me into safety, purpose, and life.
Spirit of the Living God, tune my spirit to heaven’s frequency. Let Your voice rise above every other voice, so I may recognize the Shepherd when He calls my name.
Lead me out of what is not for me, and into the paths You have already prepared.
I am known.
I am called.
And I will follow.
Lord, in your mery, hear my prayer.
And I let it be…And So it is...
Amen, Amen, and Amen
