While I was praying this afternoon, the Holy Spirit conveyed this story to me: The story of the little lamb The Holy Spirit told me this story: There was a little lamb that belonged to a flock. A lion came and roared and the lamb was scared. In his fear and confusion instead of running to hide deep in the midst of the sheep, he startled and ran away. The lion caught him and tore him to pieces. The shepherd was too busy to go and fight off the lion. He was not watching when the lion came towards the flock; he did not see when the little lamb was frightened and ran. The rams in the flock which were stronger did not go after the lamb to protect it. The sheep did not gather around it to protect it. Then the Lord went searching for the lamb. He found only pieces. He gathered the pieces with tears in his eyes. He went to the flock to see why this had happened. The shepherd he had put in charge was too busy to explain. The sheep were busy eating and were indifferent to the loss of the little lamb. The rams were busy butting heads vying for position in the flock. The Lord became angry with the flock because they did not mourn the loss of the lamb as he did. They did not love the little lamb as he did. The scripture then came to my heart, “what you have done unto the least of these, you have done unto me.” Oh Lord, forgive us and teach us to love others as you have loved us. Amen.
