Strange Ways

"I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep. The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice."
[Jesus, as recorded in John 10:1-5]

And the way Jesus leads may be strange, not a way that you may walk if you are on your own.

But even as it is apprehensive so is it delightful. For you see things that you otherwise will not see, but far more delightful and more deeply satisfying is that you now know a little better to recognise the voice of God, and the joy that you are one of his own sheep.

Of late he has been leading me to ponder over the issue of the rich and the poor.

And I am given opportunities to express what I have learnt from this walk. One of this is a response to some website.
