YOU'RE THE ONE

If you are a big ball of emotions like me, then you will probably agree that the Animal Planet needs to have ratings on their shows. Although very educational, the food chain is not one of my favorite subjects to learn about. It goes something like this, you tune into Animal Planet, you see a baby animal (ahhh), then from out of nowhere, a bigger, stronger animal attacks and eats it. Although it is a fact of life, there are still tears for the small and weak that are preyed on. Unfortuately, our society is alot like the animal kingdom in their strategies. We have several different groups of people. We don't refer to our groups as herds but rather as cliques. There are the powerful, rich, leaders, followers and many more. But in all walks of life, there is someone waiting in the shadows for someone who gets separated from the rest. We as humans are just as vulnerable as the unsuspecting animal that was zeroed out. We need to be very careful how we treat one another because if we reject people, some group will pick them up. Unless each individual knows how special they are, they will eventually be isolated and reach for any form of love that comes their way. The Shepherd refers to us as His sheep. But he also warns us of the wolves that surround us. His word says that He will leave the 99 to find the 1. As long as we know and can hear His voice, we can follow. But He's a jealous God and even if we stray, He will come to find us. The Lord showed me that alot of His sheep are wondering and He needs us to be His voice, hands, feet, and eyes. Watch out for the weak, lonely, isolated, young, old, and lost. You'll know them when you see them. Let's reach out and grab them from the pits of despair and tell them that they are the 1. By the way we're all still the 1. (Corny song from the seventies but still applies.)
