And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.” . Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep…” John 21:16-17 . . May the role of love be the factor that feeds the sheep of God… those who aim at watching over the Lord’s sheep as though they were not the Lord’s, but rather owned by them, will be condemned since they love themselves and not the Lord. Such shepherds desire to boast, to possess power, or to make money. Seeking to be obedient, to serve and to please God…what do these indicate other than that you love Me and therefore neglect to feed yourself while you feed My sheep because they are Mine and not yours? Seek My authority and not yours, seek My profit and not yours. In doing so, you will avoid following the path of those who belong to the dangerous times- who love themselves and all the consequences that come along with the onset of these evil ways. . – St Augustine #coptic #dailyreadings #orthodoxy #shepherdtheflock #serve out of #love for #God
