Lost and Loved

Matthew 18:12-14
“If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine in the hills and go in search of the stray? And if he finds it, amen, I say to you, he rejoices more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not stray. In just the same way, it is not the will of your heavenly Father that one of these little ones be lost.”

Have you ever strayed from God? I’m sure you have…as have I. Perhaps you are off track now? Perhaps you have done things that you think could never be forgiven or disqualify you from God’s love? Not so! Jesus says that there is nothing you can do to stop God from seeking you out and returning you to the fold. God loves you because you are a son or daughter…and nothing can change that! All you need to do is to forgive others and yourself…then return into God’s open arms.
