Love is uplifting. Love is deep
when it is pure. Love sweetens sorrow. Love rules without
anger, resentment and animosity. Love
is the gift of oneself. Love is faithful to what it finds. Love is strong as death.
Love is life’s prize and
payment. Love is the crown of
all bliss.

where power predominate,
there love
is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.”

“Shepherd Psalm:”
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:He leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness for his name’s sake.Yea, though I walk through
the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil: for thou art with
me;Thou preparest a table before me in
the presence of mine enemies:Thou anointest my head with oil;
My cup runneth over.Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow meAll the days of my life:And I will dwell in the
house of the Lord for ever. (Ps 23:16, KJV)

mentioned in the OldTestament. The sons of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
were shepherds, so with David, Moses
and Amos.

among you, let him be your minister.”
(Matt 20:27, KJV)

“If a shepherd has one hundred sheep, and one
wanders away and is lost, what will he do? Won’t he
leave the ninety-nine others and go out in the
hills to search for the lost one? And if he finds it, he will surely rejoice over it
more than over the ninety-nine that didn’t wander
away! In the same way, it is not my heavenly
Father’s will that even one of these little ones
should perish.” (Matt 18:12-14,
New Living Translation)
