He Leaves the 99 for You

“What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.”

Luke 15:4-6 (KJV) |

What This Means for You

A shepherd with 100 sheep loses one and leaves the 99 to find it. That's not good math. That's extravagant love. When you feel like you've wandered too far or messed up too badly, remember: God doesn't write you off. He comes looking.
