He Seeks That Which is Lost

This morning on the prayer line, we covered Matthew 18:12-20, but I want to draw your attention to verses 12-14.

What do you think? If someone owns a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go look for the one that went astray?   And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he will rejoice more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.  In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that one of these little ones be lost.

As a woman or a mother, we probably have all experienced losing something valuable.  We will search and tear the house up looking for something we need or something that is important to us.    I have found that when you are older, you seem to lose a lot of things.  (LOL) 

Once you have found that which you have lost, there is nothing like that feeling.  Something you deemed important or valuable is now back in your hands.  Isn't it wonderful to know that if we go astray, our Heavenly Father is compassionate enough to go back and look for us?

Some of us may have experienced being in a relationship where it seems like the other person does not truly care if you are there or not.  Child of God, I want to tell you that God cares.  If you are lost, He knows the way. 

My question for Today's Excellent Woman is this:  How lost are you?

Pray this prayer with me:  Father God, we are mindful of your everlasting love towards us.  We cannot fathom this type of love.  Lord, thank You for assuring me in Your word that You are not willing that anything of Yours is lost.  Thank You for coming back to look for us.  There is no distance or depth of space that You cannot reach and touch us.  Your love is amazing.  Help us to not worry about how lost we truly are, but to only remember that you are our Spiritual Compass.  You know what direction we came from and what direction we are heading.  You consume all space and time.  We love You, Lord.  In Jesus' Name, amen.
