"Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep." Luke 15:4-7
Do you feel lost at times? I certainly do.
Life happens, obstacle after obstacle, and yet I am reminded that I have the greatest Saviour of all times who came to find me!
I don't feel worthy of being saved, but when I look at this verse, I am filled to the brim with tears. How could I ever think that He would leave me behind? All I have to do is keep my eyes on Him and share every tear with Him.
“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he 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 neighbours together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way, there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. Luke 15:4-7
Dear Elora, I have felt this way many times. I have told my Beloved that I am the lost sheep that He, out of His love, came to find me and rescue me. I don’t know where I would be today if He had not come for me and shown me a different life.
The Lord reigns and takes us in His arms so that we will not get lost again. I always tell Him to tie me to His waist so that I will never get away from Him again. Praise the Lord who came to find us.
Thank you for sharing precious Elora. I am so very grateful that He too came to find me, because I was so very very lost. And yes sometimes I too do feel lost and yes I think it happens when I take my fokus of Him for a split second but then He is the voice behind me to remind me He is with me every second of the way.
