A missionary met a shepherd one day and asked him if he knew all his sheep. He replied, “Sir, if you were to blindfold me and bring me any of my sheep and just let me put my hands on its face, I could tell right away if it was mine or not.”
This story reminds us of how well the Lord Jesus knows each of us. He said, “I know My sheep” (John 10:1414I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. (John 10:14)). He knows you by name, if you are His sheep by believing in Him. And He knows about every detail of your life, and He cares about you even more than you care about yourself. He knows when you get hurt ... and He cares about it. He knows when you are sad ... and He waits to have you come to Him to tell Him about it, so He can comfort you. He also knows when you are happy ... and He wants to hear all about it! You mean much more to Him than any sheep ever meant to its shepherd.
