Looking for the Lost

"The Lord is my Shepherd..."

Those words echo in the soul of every Christian.

There at too many times when I feel

Like a sheep that has wandered astray:

Alone,

Lost,

Afraid.

Let me be a sheep in God's fold:

Warm,

Secure,

Surrounded by others.

If that cannot be,

Then let me remember

The parable of the lost sheep:

That the Shepherd will leave the ninety and nine

To look for the lost one.

Look for me, O Lord.

Lost Sheep

Dusk falls.

I miss the light

I have heard it said

That like sheep

We nibble ourselves lost.

Does grayness envelope our soul

When we wander away from God,

Just as grayness surrounds us

When the sun sets?

Will the darkness of the soul follow

If we do not seek God's will?

No.

The light always seeks us,

Just as the shepherd

Leaves the ninety and nine

To find the one lost sheep.

Let me greet the light

And know the shepherd.
