Matthew 18:12-13
If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray… 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 the course of our lives, we may have lost something – significant or otherwise. It may be money, key to the house or a loved one. And we find time to look for them, leaving everything that we do, just to find them. We are no different at all.
Like a sheep, an old coin or the squandering son, we have at one time or another been lost and needed to be found. And the Lord God is continuously looking for us.
You may be near the Lord but if you keep on hiding yourself, then finding you will not be easy. Hiding usually comes in the form of shame on your past deeds. Look up to the Lord and with a contrite heart shout out to Him, “Lord here I am, have mercy on me a sinner.” Then, have a changed heart and change your ways for the better.
Do you feel lost? He is looking for you, He is looking at you. Stop being lost, let yourself be found and come home now. Jesus assured you that there will be rejoicing in Heaven for your much-awaited homecoming.
Trust Him as He commences His effective life-changing ways to find you to re-direct your paths towards Him.
Let us pray +
Most High, glorious God, I was lost and now I am found be Your perfect love. Enlighten the darkness of my heart, and give me right faith, certain hope, and perfect charity, wisdom and understanding, Lord, that I may carry out your holy and true command.
Amen +
The LORD alone was their leader, no strange god was with him.
