| A sheep will not drink from rough waters. If there are ripples in the water, they won't drink. Fear of what may be waiting for them. The good shepard will bring them to a place of calm waters so they will drink.

So brothers and sisters, since God has shown us great mercy, I beg you to offer your lives as a living sacrifice to him. Your offering must be only for God and pleasing to him, which is the spiritual way for you to worship. Do not change yourselves to be like the people of this world, but be changed within by a new way of thinking. Then you will be able to decide what God wants for you; you will know what is good and pleasing to him and what is perfect. Romans 12: 1-2 (The Inspirational Bible/New Century Version/Max Lucado General Edition)
