Calves

2 December 2011.

John 10:4-5  And when he puts forth his own sheep, he goes in front of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will not follow a stranger, never! But they will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of the strangers.

Sitting looking across into the field next door and seeing the new born calves with their mothers is a blessed sight. When the day is done and they move back closer to the farm house, the new mothers call and the calves follow. The mother is never far from her calf. The calf is aware of this and even though it may stray it does not stray far, before it comes back. Each calf knows its mother and they know each other’s voice.

I suppose in some ways we are also like a calf and Jesus is the One who cares for us and provides for us. Sadly though we also stray and seem to drift far from where He is. Yet He is never that far from us, He is constant, He is present, because we are His and He is ours. When it is time to move, He calls us, and we hear His voice and we come. Unhappily not all those who claim to know Him do.

When we come close to Jesus, Jesus comes close to us. Do you hear His call, have you heard His whisper, ‘come to me’. He wants to provide for you, keep you safe and loves you, is this not what you want also?

Be encouraged today to hear the voice of Jesus in your life.

Point to ponder: Jesus cares for you.

Question to consider: Do you hear the calling of Jesus?
