"Searching for.......!"

 

"Lost: Sheep!"

 

Luke 15:5-7 (Amplified Bible)

And when he has found it, he lays it on his [own] shoulders, rejoicing. And when he gets home, he summons together [his] friends and [his] neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep which was lost. Thus, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one [especially] wicked person who repents (changes his mind, abhorring his errors and misdeeds, and determines to enter upon a better course of life) than over ninety-nine righteous persons who have no need of repentance.

Christ and all the angels in heaven REJOICE when a lost sheep is found, and is brought back to the Safe and Loving arms of God!

I myself, have read these WORDs of Christ many, many times, knowing only that HIS Love for me was sufficient for HIM to leave HIS flock, and SEARCH diligently for 1 sheep until I was found.

Amongst the briars and thorns that surround so many people today, Christ portrayed a deeply concerned shepherd, who cares so much for each of them, that HE gave HIS life for each one to be rescued.

We should, as Obedient servants of Christ, SEARCH tirelessly each day for lost sheep, knowing that HE asked us to Rejoice with HIM that they be found and brought into HIS flock.

 

O'Lord, my heart longs for a glimpse of YOU!
What Joy of heaven is now mine,
knowing that YOU left YOUR home in Glory,
to search for me until I was found!!
Lead me to a point of caring,
where I am more like YOU,
willing to search for lost sheep,
for JOY awaits each one's return!!!

 

O'Lord, YOU are my Great Shepherd!

 

Forever and Amen!!!
