Little girl with golden locks. Little girl with big blue eyes. Little girl. So full of woe. In a church of stained glass windows. The Church of the Messiah.
Mommy decks the altar with flowers. Daddy is out and about. The little girl stares reverently at the beautiful window. Sunlight lights up Jesus the Good Shepherd. A little lamb is in His arms. Close to His chest. Close to His heart. Is He MY Good Shepherd? the little girl whispers. Am I His little lamb?
The little girl is now alone in the sanctuary. With the Shepherd's eyes upon her. Lights streams through the stained glass aperture. It falls upon her small face. Then a Voice speaks into her depths: "You are My child, and you will belong to Me for your whole life." The little girl is struck. With awe and wonder. At her Shepherd's voice. For now she knows, and will forever know, that she is His little lamb.
