TEA TIME WITH TINA HE HEARD MY VOICE by Tina A. Gallo, co-written with Carrie Christopher The Lord plants dreams in our hearts at a very early age, fearfully the Bible describes Jesus as the Great shepherd and His followers as His sheep. Those that follow Jesus “hear and know” His voice over all the other competing, counterfeit voices that bombard us daily. Many tests have proven that when sheep are in a field and called by anyone other than the shepherd, they ignore and will not respond to the foreign voice. While grazing in the fields, their Shepherd’s voice resounds above all else and prepares them for action; as they stop instinctively and with fervency, they begin to run toward him knowing that their shepherd is going to tend to their needs. God desires His flock to recognize and respond to His voice the same way.
“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my
sheep know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep. (John 10:14-15, NIV)
