The Good Shepherd (Jesus) doesn’t…

… Leave me hungry,

… “Feed” himself at my expense,

… Leave me unprotected from predators and robbers,

… Leave me where I was driven to,

… Abandon me when I stray away,

… Let me stay “weak” or “sick”,

… Consider me just a business burden (as the hired shepherd).

(Ezekiel 34, John 10)
