One of my friends leases part of her property to someone with sheep. At first they were leery of her, but as she kept bringing them bits of food, they started coming up to her back fence in anticipation of a treat. So, when she approached them from another part of her property, she was surprised they shied away from her. She might bring them treats at times, but she isn’t their shepherd. Sheep aren’t the smartest of animals, but they do know their shepherd. Jesus often referred to himself as the shepherd and his followers as sheep. Even if we aren’t the smartest, we know whom we can always trust to provide and care for us.
Sheep Know Their Shepherd

Briefly Speaking 
So true, Sheila. When we raised sheep, they came running to us but when we sent them out to be bred by another rancher they would run from them which frustrated them of course to no end. we as gods sheep recognize Jesus Christ as our shepherd. Thanks, Sheila.
