Sally read this to me on one of the first nights she was here as I was on the bunk below her. I read it daily….
Pour yourself out. Don’t testify about how much you love me and don’t talk about the wonderful revelation you have had. Just feed my sheep. Jesus had some extraordinarily peculiar sheep; some that are unkempt and dirty, some that are awkward or pushy, and some that have gone astray. But it is impossible to exhaust God’s love and it is impossible to exhaust my love if it flows from the spirit of God within me. The love of God pays no attention to my prejudices caused by my natural individuality. If I love my God, I have no business being guided by natural emotions—I have to feed my sheep.
John 21:17
