Are you making the most of your days?  Jesus described the shepherd / sheep relationship as one in which the sheep are given a life that is far beyond what they could ever imagine for themselves.  David described this life from the prospective of a sheep, and it’s so desirable.  Jesus wants everyone to have a life through him that blows away all of their limited beliefs about what life can be, and there are brothers at F3 who can help guide you to that path if you feel like something is missing in your life or if you know that you’re currently off track.
MOLESKIN:
John 10 and Psalms 23
