“I Have Found My Lost Sheep”

 

 

"Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.'

 

Luke 15:4-6

 

How many times have you lost something you really liked and then found it. Think and remember your joy in finding it.

 

We sometimes fall by the way and we lose our faith. Sometimes we admit we were lost, other times we never admit it to ourselves.

 

Our Father looks forward to us coming back, even if we refuse to admit we were lost.

 

Think about that kind of love. Know the heart of Jesus, the Son of Man, who came to find and carry back His straying children to their Father.

 

No matter how far you have strayed and how lost you may be, He came to seek and to save you.

 

To find salvation, you must admit that you’re lost.
