The Shepherd's Care Brings Purpose and Peace
W. Phillip Keller uses his experience as a shepherd to illustrate how God's care for us mirrors a shepherd's care for his sheep. This relationship instills a sense of purpose and dignity, transforming our lives from aimless to meaningful. 'It links a lump of common clay to divine destiny—it means a mere mortal becomes the cherished object of divine diligence.' This key idea emphasizes the transformative power of acknowledging God's ownership and care in our lives.
