Verses: Luke 15 : 1 - 10
My thoughts about the verses:
There is an easy way to think about these verses. Have you ever lost anything important to you? Do you look for a second or two and then give up the hunt? I would guess that many of you are like me. If something is important to me I will hunt until I find it. I don't want to give up until I know it is in my hand. Then I can take a deep breath and be content with my new hiding spot.
I know we have all lost someone that we love dearly. They may have not passed away but passed from our presence. Our heart starts to skip beats and we start thinking about how to get them back. I know that I would do almost anything to have had one day as a teenager with my sister. I know that I could have lived a million times over in that one day. It is amazing when you are just a little kid and you lose a piece that could make you whole. You understand from the start of life that certain things mean more than money. One of my most prized possessions is the picture of my little sis laying there in the hospital. I don't know what I would do without that picture our only link until I join her in Heaven.
So if we can love people and possessions isn't it obvious the God of love will celebrate when we return back home. That God would do anything even send the precious son so that we might find our way back into the open arms of love and life. The celebration isn't for those that could save themselves but for those that have been found through the cleansing power of the blood. See the celebration is because the one that went looking found the one that was lost.
Prayer:
Dear God thank you for loving us. Thank you for sending the Son so that we could find our way back home. We praise you for not forgetting the least of us so that we would not be left behind. Help us to always remember the sacrifice that was made so that we may have everlasting life. Help us show others the unconditional love that you have shown us. In the Name of the One that came to Save us. Amen

Have you accepted Jesus in your life? Has God found a way into your heart? How can you show others the love God has shown to you?
