A very inspired piece for me and I am offering this original painting.
In a world where success is often measured by the size of the flock, the story of the Good Shepherd offers a profound and counter-cultural perspective. He had ninety-nine sheep safely gathered in the fold—a remarkable achievement by any standard. Yet, one was missing. One was lost, wandering alone in the wilderness, facing unknown dangers. The shepherd, driven by a love that transcends logic and practicality, didn't rationalize his decision. He didn't settle for "good enough." He left the safety and security of the ninety-nine to pursue the one. This act of radical, unwavering love is a testament to the immeasurable worth of a single soul. It reminds us that no one is too small to be seen, too insignificant to be missed, or too far gone to be found. It challenges us to look beyond the crowd and see the individual, to leave our comfort zones and extend a hand to the one who is lost, and to believe in a love that never gives up, never gives in, and will stop at nothing to bring us home.
