12.16-If you feel lost and confused about your life...

12.16-

He was looking for his keys under the machine where I was working out. I got off the machine and helped him look. He was upset as I would be if I lost my car keys. He was looking intensely. Highly focused.
Once when Jesus was criticized for hanging out with sinners He answered by saying that the joy of the Father in heaven is most when a child of His is lost then found.
So if you feel lost and confused in your life know that your Father in heaven is looking for you and sends some of His followers to encourage and lift you up today. Watch for those who love people, they are probably from Him.

Luke 15.
15 Now all the tax collectors and the [a]sinners were coming near Him to listen to Him. Both the Pharisees and the scribes began to grumble, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.”
So He told them this parable, saying, “What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the [b]open pasture and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’ I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.

The Lost Coin

“Or what woman, if she has ten [c]silver coins and loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost!’ 10 In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
