A SHEEP AMONG WOLVES
<p><br/></p><p>I am a sheep.</p><p><br/></p><p>Let's just say I was a sheep.</p><p><br/></p><p>I now call myself the black sheep. 😩</p><p><br/></p><p> Adaniwáyé formed me, breathed life into me, and called my name “ special one!”🎉</p><p><br/></p><p>He really loved me. I knew it, so no one could even convince me otherwise.</p><p><br/></p><p>Someone who named me special one: you can even translate my name to mean beloved.</p><p><br/></p><p>But I was such a good sheep: silent, calm, and dutiful. 😂</p><p><br/></p><p>But I am a curious person, and my curiosity got to the peak of its career when I started seeing other sheep outside our grazing field.</p><p><br/></p><p>We were actually a lot of sheep in my flock, but those ones were very white. There was no blemish in their colour.</p><p><br/></p><p>And they were feeding on fresh green grass, so I felt like eating it too. 😖</p><p><br/></p><p>I've never eaten anything like that before, </p><p>I've only eaten fallen fruits and fresh vegetables..</p><p><br/></p><p>Days after, I went outside my grazing field.</p><p><br/></p><p>And I joined them.</p><p><br/></p><p>They were all loosed out. 😌</p><p><br/></p><p>They didn't have any shepherd with them.</p><p><br/></p><p>Freedom at its peak! 🎉</p><p><br/></p><p>We journeyed into the wilderness together, and that's when I started noticing certain things.</p><p><br/></p><p>For starters, they didn't behave like us.</p><p><br/></p><p>They didn't graze.</p><p><br/></p><p>They hunted.</p><p><br/></p><p>They had sharp teeth, strong claws, and eyes that seemed to constantly search for something: or someone to devour.</p><p><br/></p><p>Sometimes, they moved so quietly that I wouldn't even notice them until they were right beside me.</p><p><br/></p><p>But I ignored the signs.</p><p><br/></p><p>After all, they had welcomed me.</p><p><br/></p><p>They looked like they knew what freedom was, and I was enjoying every bit of it. 😌</p><p><br/></p><p>But the more time I spent with them, the more I noticed that they were always watching the weaker ones.</p><p><br/></p><p>They weren't looking for grass.</p><p><br/></p><p>They were looking for prey.</p><p><br/></p><p>And then it hit me.</p><p><br/></p><p>These weren't sheep.</p><p><br/></p><p>They were wolves.</p><p><br/></p><p>And I?</p><p><br/></p><p>I was a sheep who had willingly wandered into the wilderness.</p><p><br/></p><p>A sheep in the midst of wolves.</p><p><br/></p><p>I'm finished!! 😭😭</p><p><br/></p><p>I'm already someone's dinner.</p><p><br/></p><p>Y'all, greet my Master for me. 🥺</p><p><br/></p><p>“Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.”</p><p> Matthew 10:16 (KJV)</p>
