    In this heartfelt reflection, we dive into Psalm 23 and explore the comforting phrase, "The Lord is my shepherd."

Through the passages of John 10:27-28 and John 20:15-16, we examine the unique relationship between Jesus and His followers—recognizing His voice just as a sheep knows its shepherd.
