1 Peter 5:2, 3
"Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, serving as overseers—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock."
I don’t have a flock; you may not either at this point, but get ready. Our flock might start out as a small one, just one person even. Maybe you only assist in their care, but thats just it, you care, and I ask you to be willing. I’ll tell you, it’s easier to be pushed or pulled there. That person bringing you along, allowing you the small comfort of knowing that they are just ahead of you. Clearing the brush, and making the first move. I rest easy knowing that I can do so much simply by example. Eager to get down and serve then to rise and give direction.
