Ezekiel 34:1-6 gives a pretty stiff indictment to those of us involved in the lives of others. Specifically, we have looked selfish instead of feeding the sheep and…

The weak you have not strengthened,
the sick you have not healed,
the injured you have not bound up,
the strayed you have not brought back,
the lost you have not sought,
and with force and harshness you have ruled them. (Ezekiel 34:4)

Do any of these things characterize you? I mean what do you do with those who are weak sheep? What’s your tendency? Are you shepherding them? Ezekiel (and as a result, God) wants us to be faithful shepherds. Let’s ask for grace to pursue this.
