I AM the Door

Sheep have every reason to be afraid. They are vulnerable and unable to defend themselves. The sheepfold is an enclosure in which they rested at night. But their confidence is not in the place they are nor in themselves nor in those around them. Their confidence is in their shepherd. We tend to think that if we avoid certain situations, certain people, and certain activities, we will be safe. There is not a place we can be that we are not immune from the Devil’s attempts to lead us astray. But there is not a place we can be that we are not under the watchful care of our Shepherd. It’s not the place that saves us; it’s the person that saves us.
