Be the Sheep of God and not the Goat.

 🕊️ Amen. 🕊️

This is a powerful declaration rooted in the words of Jesus Himself, drawing from the imagery He used to describe the final judgment and the eternal distinction between those who belong to Him and those who do not.

“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.”

— Matthew 25:31–33

The Difference Between the Sheep and the Goats:

· 🐑 The Sheep (Righteous):

  · Hear His voice and follow Him (John 10:27).

  · Show compassion and serve “the least of these” (Matthew 25:35–40).

  · Live by faith and bear the fruit of the Spirit.

  · Enter into eternal life prepared for them by the Father.

· 🐐 The Goats (Unrighteous):

  · Ignore His voice and go their own way.

  · Neglect love in action—especially toward those in need.

  · Live self-centered lives, unaware of eternal realities.

  · Face eternal separation from God’s presence.

A Prayer to Walk as His Sheep:

Heavenly Father,

You are the Good Shepherd, and Your Son, Jesus, laid down His life for the sheep.

Today, I choose to be Your sheep—

To know Your voice,

To follow Your leading,

To love as You love,

And to serve as You serve.

Guard my heart from the pride, stubbornness, and independence of the goat.

Let my life be marked by compassion, humility, and obedience to Your Word.

Draw me ever closer to Your side, that I may never wander from Your care.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.
