Shepherds Scatter

Shepherd with a Flock of Sheep - Charles Jacque

Shepherds scatter,

as it was so in Jeremiah's day,

as it was so when Jesus walked the earth,

as it is

in the day in which we now live.

Shepherds scatter,

when walking in the footprints

of their own pride,

rather than those

of God.

Shepherds scatter,

over dogmas which sever His body.

There should be union,

bound by strengths,

rather than divisions

of weakness.

We need to stand

as one body loving God,

believing the words of His son,

knowing that from His death comes life.

We need to love each other

regardless of sins

without celebrating those iniquities the world accepts.

We need to focus on the narrow door

through which many will refuse to pass.
