Self-Shepherding

We often find it easy to shepherd the others and have the others to shepherd us. But we often find it hard to be a self-shepherd.

What does it mean to be a self-shepherd? And when will that role have to take place?

Of course, it takes place when there was no shepherd to watch over you in a pericular area. You are a lost lamb. But since we received Jesus into our heart, we earned the gift of self-shepherding as we allow Him to shepherd us within us. So we may either decide to be a lost lamb or to be a self-shepherd.

What does a shepherd do?

A shepherd shall abandon all 99 sheep to look for a lost sheep.

What does a self-shepherd do?

A self-shepherd shall walk back into the flock and say, "HEY! I am back!" Instead of remaining as a lost sheep, we walk right back in even if those 99 sheep keep leaving, we continue to shepherd self back in. It's "an ugly lost sheep in pursue of those beautiful 99 sheep" to please our Shepherd.
