John 10

The sheep of Jesus Christ. The sheep hears my voice and follows me. v4 The sheep follow him, for they know his voice.


Are we the sheep of Christ? During this period, I ask of the Lord to be sensitive to God. God is spirit and the one way to be sensitive to God is to be sensitive in spirit.


How can we be sensitive to the spirit? You can only hear the heartbeat of God by being near to Him. And the only way is that God has permitted you to be near to Him. You cannot hear God's heartbeat if you choose to be far away.


How then can we be near to Him? Through prayers, reading, journal down the events and milestone for your walk and encounter with God, though worship.


It is a choice.


Jesus is the gate, the shepherd. We believed. Good. But how much do we hear his voice and follow him through the gate, how much do we permit Jesus to lead us.


The world has a lot to offer. The wealth, the prestige, the status...


But like what Jesus say, they are hired hand. So long the master is not around, roam as you like sheep and when the wolf, the hired man run away.


The best plan is God's plan. He want to propser us. Jer33. Our choice to choose it.

As for me, I choose His plan for me. I may not be someone the world know, but I am a child of God, a sheep that follow Christ. A lot of things I may not be what the wolrd expect, but I am happy to enter the gate that the Lord lead me. I choose to be in full obedience and sensitive to His calling. But I know that I am not perfect and there are still a lot of things God has to deal with me, but I know His perfect plan for me. Amen.
