Got Flock?

[S] 1 Peter 5:2 --
Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve;

[O] One cannot be a shepherd without any sheep.  God showed me how to shepherd others through Jesus Christ's example of His earthly ministry and wants me to follow that (just like how Jesus told Peter to tend His sheep).  I need to ask the question of who are in my flock?

[A] Got flock?  Before answering this question I must ask myself how I'm doing to gather this flock.  I need to be more intentional to gather them to care for them.

[P] Dear Father, please show me like-minded church planters to plant a church which models after this as the core -- 100% caring for others into God's flock.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
