The Sheep's Personal Growth
There the sheep is in the field
fully concentrated on it's task
head down eating it's green grass
growing up what else could one ask
This is what a sheep's supposed to do
so by it it'll grow large and strong
then it's owner will gain a good price
when selling it at market before too long
This is similar to a Christian's task
eating God's word so they will grow
being nourished and fed in their soul
little by little no matter how slow
Then God will receive no earthly price
but pleasure and glory to His name
for He loves to see those walk in truth
who confess His name and burn His flame
So eat like the sheep
keep feeding your soul
make your personal growth
your life time goal
AUTHOR NOTES:
just a few thoughts watching sheep eating grass the other day and seeing
connection between the sheep and God's believers.
