Feed My Sheep: Part 1
Jesus’ call to Peter—“Feed my sheep”—flows from a heart of love. As we return to Him from self-reliance, He restores us and invites us to dine with Him. Ministry begins with intimacy.

Are we enduring in watchfulness, or fainting in the fight? The Christian life is a long race and a spiritual battle. Strength comes by fixing our eyes on Jesus. He’s called us to wear His armor and stand firm. Will He find us praying when He returns?
Watching and praying keeps us close to Christ. When temptation comes, do we run to Him or rely on ourselves? He alone is our escape and strength. Is there hidden sin or shallowness dulling your soul? Only abiding in Jesus can keep our love burning and our steps steady.
Are we depending on Jesus or drifting into comfort? True strength is found in humble prayer. If media or busyness has stolen our fire, it’s time to repent and return. Revival begins when we wake up.
Will we live in spiritual alertness, or sleep as the enemy approaches? Among the olive trees, Jesus was pressed like an olive, bearing our sin in anguish and surrender. Are we awake to the price He paid for us? He calls us to stay spiritually awake through prayerful surrender.
As we keep Jesus' commands, we receive His love, experience answered prayer, grow in joy, and reflect His heart to others. In loving Him this way, we find life and lasting fellowship.
How can we keep Christ’s commands if we feel so weak? We can’t—at least, not in our own strength. But Jesus never asked us to. As we abide in Him, He enables us by His Spirit to walk as He walked. Through simple steps of memorizing, meditating, and setting our minds on His Word, He empowers a life of joyful obedience and deeper communion.
We all keep something before our face: phones, media, opinions, fears. But Jesus calls us to keep His words. What we behold, we become.
