Vision

I have a vision. There are an open field. In the field, there are a lot of sheep. Some are brown, some are white. Most of them wandering around without shepherd. There are a few shepherd around. Some sheep gather around this shepherds. I see a swarm of white and brown sheep gather around a shepherd. Some of them talk to sheep outside the swarm, asking them to join the swarm. Some of them talk to sheep outside the swarm and leave the swarm. Some of the sheep gather together and follow the shepherd closely. Some of the sheep help the shepherd organize and leads a smaller number of other sheep. All of them busy around. The shepherd look after his sheep closely and nurture them well. He is leading his sheep to a green pastures. Sometimes they go pass a dark valley, but the sheep do not afraid. They just follow the shepherd closely. The sheep feel very secure with the shepherd presence.

(Psalms 23) The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me besides quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the day of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
