The Shepherd's Flock

The LORD is my shepherd.... Everyone pulls it out whenever things aren't going right, when trouble arrives or seems imminent. But how often do we think about the implications of that statement? Because, if the Lord is my shepherd, that means that I'm His sheep. That means that I reflect on Him. If my language is vulgar, if my attitude stinks, if I'm always complaining and negative, if I'm lazy, if my lifestyle is destructive...I'm making Christ seem like a bad shepherd. But if there's something different about me, if my language and habits are clean, if I'm a positive and uplifting person, if I'm known as a hardworking and responsible person...then I can reasonably offer my shpeherd's services to others. After all, people can screw their lives up on their own; but we need help to rise above. So, ask yourself: are you reflecting well on your shepherd?
