NO SHEEP WILL BE LOST

So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish. -- Matthew 18:14

God will never abandon you and will always bring you back to Him.

Jesus speaks of a shepherd who leaves his entire flock on the mountain in search for one who went astray. This story points out to the "will of the Father" that each person is worth looking for even if he chooses to sin or turn away from the Lord.

The Lord never ceases to be our shepherd and savior each day of our lives (Ps 96:2). He is always there to comfort us with an assurance that we will prevail in all of our troubles in life for He always forgives our iniquities and sins (Isa 40:1-2). He is on top of every situation in our lives, giving us the fair chance and opportunity to rectify our mistakes (Ps 96:10).

In times when we get tired of all the wearies in life, the best thing to do is to hold on to the word of God (Isa 40:6-8). His word always comes with a promise of a bigger and better life ahead of us (Isa 40:5). His glory comes from the marvelous works that He can do for His people (Ps 96:3). With God, all good things come and there is nothing to fear (Isa 40:9).

Instead of being led astray by the worries of the world, hold on to Jesus as your Lord and Savior and He will make sure that your life is always full and complete.

Lord GOD, come into my life with might, rule over my heart; and grant me the reward you have promised. I rejoice with all of your creation in giving you praise for all the good things you have done and continue to do for all of us. Be our shepherd and guide us, as we journey in this world towards the everlasting kingdom that you have promised even at the beginning of time. Help us prepare the way for your coming, so that through our actions, more people will find their way back to you. With all the angels and saints we pray, in Jesus Name. Amen.
