John 21:15-17-(17) Jesus said, "Feed my sheep...these verses have been swirling around in my head for a couple days now. I've thought about the different "things" I have fed...dogs, rabbits, chickens, cows, pigs, guinea pigs, fish, raccoons, babies, kids, friends of kids, Monte, lots of things through out my 27 years as a wife & mom have I fed. So why is God giving me this verse right now? I've read the verses before, this particular one even, & Jesus is asking this to Peter. The 1st time after Peter says, "Yes, I love you." Jesus says, "feed my lambs," then, "take care of my sheep," then, "feed my sheep." Jesus isn't talking about livestock here to Peter, He's talking about all people. Asking him if he will tell people about Him!! If He will show Him to those around him. He wants all people to come to Him--to know Him, love & obey Him, & Hes making sure Peter is up & ready for the task. This may sound a little weird, but I think it's what He's saying to me! Crazy, I know!! I believe He's telling me that my time of rest, reviving, & renewing, is just about over & He wants me to put my work clothes on & get ready to go--to "feed His sheep!" I can feel that moving in my soul, & that strengthening in my spirit. He's preparing me. I've said, "oh gosh Lord, are you sure?" He's said, "do you love me? Take care of my lambs." I've said, "look at my mess!!" He's said, "do you love me? Take care of my sheep." I've said, "I don't think I'm smart enough, or good enough, or even right enough for the job!!" He's responded, "Do you love me? Feed my sheep!" He's looking for my obedience, for my willingness to do what He's got for me. He's working on me, & tweeting somethings & through it all He's saying, "I've got this! This is what I want you to do. You love me & listen to me, & I will take care of the rest. Can you do that?" And I'm answering, "Yes Lord!! Yes I can!! Yes I'm willing!" So of course as I say that, He's continuing His work...He's saying, "wait on me & I will tell you when the feeding starts." I'm excited! My soul is rejoicing b/c God is so good--so amazing--so willing to take this mess of a girl & turn her into something beautiful, someone He desires to do His work. He's got that for each of us! Is He asking you these questions? Or something similar? Is He calling you into something more, something deeper w/ Him? Go to Him, let Him move in & through you. We serve a mighty God--a wonderful, awesome God. Let's all get ready to do what He's asking--let's answer His question w/ a huge, "YES!!" & be obedient. We will never be sorry we said yes to Him, only sorry if we ignore Him. Eph 2:10- For we are Gods handiwork created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
