Message to the Shepherds: God's Accountability (05/11/'24)

Message to the Shepherds: God's Accountability The Lord speaks with a voice like a storm, addressing the shepherds: “You have scattered My flock, driven them away like leaves in the wind, left them to wander barren paths among wolves and shadows. Once steady hands now withhold care, and hearts once kind are now hardened with neglect. Guide them, tend their wounds, and bind their fears with gentleness, yet you chose self-interest and sought safety behind your walls, leaving My people to navigate the wilderness alone. Where are the green pastures, the cool waters to restore their weary souls? Where are the arms that comfort the broken and the voice that calls the lost home? I will bestow upon you what you have given them: the bitterness you sowed and the darkness you harbored. Their lamentation rises to Me like incense, each tear a precious jewel. I will repay you for the evil you have done.” This is the Lord's unwavering truth: He gathers His scattered sheep back home, calling each by name and leading them with mercy and grace. In valleys where sorrow once lingered, streams will now flow, pastures will bloom, and broken fences will mend. No thief shall breach the walls again, for the Good Shepherd will guard the gates, laying down His life for those He loves. Pastor Steven G. Lee (May 11, 2024)
