"I Just Feel Lost"

Last night I sat with a woman and talked about a number of challenges she's facing not least of which is her desire to feel close with God. After a lengthy conversation she simply said, "I just feel lost."

Enter good news. Jesus is looking for lost things. I told her three stories that Jesus shared. It was refreshing to share them, because it they were the stories of when he found me.

  • A shepherd had 100 sheep, one was lost so he went and found it.
  • A woman had 5 coins, she lost one so she swept the house until she found it.
  • A Father had 2 sons, one was lost but came home again.
I'm thankful that Jesus is looking for the lost. In fact, he said, "I've come to seek and save that which is lost."

One more lost one found. I prayed with her to receive forgiveness and new life in Christ.
