Summary
Lily was a little lamb who liked to play in the green meadows with her friends. All day she would run, jump, and chase butterflies. But one afternoon, as she played near the edge of the field, she spotted a bright red flower in the distance. “I’ll be right back!” she yelled to her friends as she sprinted toward it. But the more she walked, the more distant the flower became. Soon, Lily glanced around and realized that she was lost. The tall trees seemed to close in around her, and she could no longer see her home. Lily began to cry. “Shepherd! Where are you?” she called but did not receive an answer. Then she heard a familiar voice in the distance. It was the Good Shepherd, calling her name! “Lily! Where are you?” “I’m here!” she cried, her little heart filled with hope. The Shepherd rushed to her side, cradling her in His arms. “You just wandered away, my child,” He smiled. “But I have found you, and I am taking you home.” Lily cuddled up close to feel safe and loved. When they came back to the meadow, all her friends cheered. The Shepherd smiled and replied, “I will never stop looking for my lost sheep and bringing them back home.” So from that day forward, Lily, among the flock with the Shepherd, knew He would always love and protect her. “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” —Psalm 23:1
