A Shepherds Heart

In exploring the concept of a shepherd's heart, we're reminded of God's intimate knowledge and plans for each of us. Just as Jeremiah 1:5 tells us that God knew us before we were formed, we're encouraged to recognize that our life's purpose is divinely ordained. This message invites us to reflect on how we're cooperating with God's plan for our lives. Are we, like the shepherds mentioned, answering God's call with a resounding 'yes'? The sermon emphasizes that while God has a perfect plan, He gives us the free will to choose. This beautiful balance of divine purpose and human choice challenges us to actively participate in our spiritual journey, trusting that, as Romans 8:28 assures us, all things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose.
