The Good Shepherd has a masterful way of leading his sheep to safety. The Good Shepherd also laid down his life so that we could have life more abundantly. During this time of increased turbulence we cannot neglect to lean in to the characteristics of Christ. If we are indeed born again and made in his image we have to reflect the light of the divine.
One of the ways we let our heart light shine is through empathy.
