Since coming to Africa, I have learned a number of different
things. One thing that I have learned is sheep and goats although they travel
together are different. I now know how to tell a sheep from a goat. Since I live on a large wooded area, the
animals roam around all day long. It does not take much for one of them
especially the little ones to get lost. They are bleating all day for the
mother who has gone about her business. When night comes, they all head back to
their respective homes but one of them seems not to make it. I was assured not
to worry that someone would come looking for the lost ones. They will leave the other sheep just to find
the one lost one. (Luke 15:3-7). I was asked to read that passage in church
last Sunday but I did not make the connection until God made it perfectly clear
to me.
God reminded me last night as I listened to the sound of bleating
that I should be concerned about the lost sheep because that is why I am here
in Africa. This is not a vacation or time to rest. He has sent me here to work. Thank you God for the clear message.
