Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

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.
