The word sheepish is often used in reference to someone without courage, someone who is ashamed or who lacks self-confidence. However to be a sheep in the flock of Christ gives courage, allows for shame and guilt to be swept away and gives us confidence more powerful than self, instead we gain Christ-confidence. Confiding in him to know what to do and then be able to do so. How grateful I am to be considered a sheep when my shepherd is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, he who gave his life for his sheep.
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
