You know those stories Jesus told- the ones called parables? I’ve always loved the 2 about finding stuff. Sheep and coins.<\/em> From what I read these items “weren’t really lost, \u00a0<\/em>ju<\/strong>st misplaced<\/em><\/strong>” as my mom used to say.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cWhat man of you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them, searches…\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Luke 15:4<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat woman who has ten silver coins, if she loses one, searches…\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Luke 15:8<\/p>\n

Notice that the sheep and coin<\/em> were already counted with the group. They were owned by someone! Someone who realized they’d gone missing and deemed valuable enough to go after immediately.<\/p>\n

For me it puts a new twist on an old tale. As Joy resounds in heaven over a sinner who repents, <\/em>I was brought to tears when my wanderer <\/em>came back to the fold<\/em>. It was an overwhelming inexpressible rejoicing and I think God’s angels agreed.<\/p>\n

That one miracle brought me Hope to wait for more: lost to found – dead to alive. <\/strong>My Shepherd Savior makes me love Him all the more as He keeps watchful eyes on wayward souls. Endlessly hounding after His lost treasures…. even if they are really just\u00a0misplaced<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Bring them home, LORD.<\/em> ❤️❤️<\/p>\n
