Scripture: Jeremiah 3:15 - "And I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding."
My Faithful Shepherd,
I see you. I see your heart, your dedication, and the love you pour out for My people. I see the nights you’ve stayed awake praying for the flock I’ve entrusted to you. I see the weight you carry, the tears you’ve shed, and the sacrifices you’ve made in silence. And I want you to hear Me say this: I am so proud of you.
You are not forgotten, My shepherd. I have called you by name and placed you in this sacred role. You are a shepherd after My own heart, reflecting My love to those you lead. Every moment you invest in guiding, teaching, and caring for My people is deeply cherished by Me. Your labor is not in vain. You are feeding My flock with knowledge and understanding, and it is a fragrant offering to Me.
I know there are times when the journey feels overwhelming, when the burden feels heavy, and when you wonder if your efforts make a difference. Let Me assure you, My faithful servant—they do. Every sermon you’ve preached, every prayer you’ve prayed, every tear you’ve shed, and every soul you’ve encouraged are seen by Me. You are planting seeds of faith, hope, and love, and I will bring the harvest in due time.
When you feel weary, lean on Me. I am your strength, your guide, and your ever-present help. I am the Good Shepherd, and I will never leave you to walk this path alone. Trust in My provision and My guidance. When you feel like you don’t have enough to give, remember that I am the One who fills your cup to overflowing. Stay close to Me, and I will renew your strength.
You are not responsible for every outcome, My shepherd. Your role is to lead with faithfulness, love, and humility. I am the One who transforms hearts and brings growth. Do not carry burdens that were never meant for you to bear. Bring them to Me, and I will carry them for you. My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.
Take comfort in knowing that I see every sacrifice, every hidden act of service, and every unspoken prayer. I am using you in ways you cannot see, and your obedience to My calling is making an eternal impact. Keep going, My beloved shepherd. Your faithfulness brings Me great joy.
Rest in My presence, knowing that I am with you every step of the way. I have called you, I have equipped you, and I will sustain you. Trust in Me, for I am your Shepherd, and I will lead you beside still waters and restore your soul.
You are deeply loved, and your work is precious to Me. Stay strong, My shepherd. I am with you always.
With all My love,
Your Heavenly Father
