Every shepherd inherently has them
They are part of the package that comes with the anointing to steward God's people
Having that compassionate yearning to know the spiritual state of your flock...motherly instinct
Being concerned about the direction in which their lives head...motherly instinct
Experiencing and identifying with their burdens, pains and sorrows...motherly instincts
Knowing what to say to silence the turbulence...motherly instinct
Motherly instincts are so vital for every shepherd...they make you effective
Your sheep's interest is what's most important to you.
You are restless when you see them going wayward; you are full of joy when they experience success and fruitfulness
You delight in feeding them with the Word of Truth.
Motherly instincts are not learnt in the Bible School; no! They are spiritual character traits, just like the fruit of the Spirit. They must be cultivated.
Motherly instincts come from the Ultimate Source of all life, the Holy Spirit.
