God cares for His people. He doesn't want them to get lost. He doesn't want wolves to attack them or scatter them. This is the reason why He calls some of His people to shepherd them. Some of those He calls become full-time shepherds or pastors. Others He calls to help in shepherding God's people on a part-time basis only. But, whether full-time or part-time, the important thing is that God's people are cared for personally and intentionally.
