We are called his sheep in the Bible.

At first I thought about how sheep can’t do anything on their own. Then I imagined a sheep finding themselves in trouble and that there would probably be nothing they could do to save themselves. But… finally, I understand that the shepard is the one who is there to do all those things for his sheep.

When I am lost, Jesus is there to guide me home. When I am in danger, Jesus protects me. When I am scared, Jesus comforts me. He is our perfect shepard. And as His sheep, I simply need to hear his voice and follow him.
