Looks like I am lost.
I have been searching for a while subconsciously, which is how I found my way here.
Tonight was too much, I asked God and Jesus into my life.
Nothing. I feel more alone than ever.
If you are lost, then brighten up, because you only have one thing to worry about.
Why brighten up?
A lost sheep is never abandoned by the shepherd.
How do we know that no lost sheep is ever abandoned?
Luke 15:3-5
3 And
so He told them this parable, saying,
4 “
What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the other ninety-nine in the [a]open pasture and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he puts it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
Please read Ezekiel 34:6-16, and capture that beautiful word picture.
So, if you are a lost sheep, and you want to be found, don't bleat too loudly. Wolves have acute hearing.
Just do what sheep do... beside bleat loudly for their shepherd.
Yes, praying is important, but also, remember this...
John 10:27
My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me.
Please read Jesus' beautiful illustration at John 10:2-30.
If you are one of Jesus sheep, you know his voice, so all you need to do, is listen out for it, and when you hear it, follow the sound.
When he calls, and you listen, and follow, then he will put you on his shoulders and carry you. Then lead you into the sheep pen.
So, three things to remember...
- Don't be downhearted or panic.
- Remember the shepherd is searching for you.
- Pray silently, and listen for the call of the shepherd.
How does Jesus call though? "Sheep... Sheep... Where are you?"?
In the same way God searched for the lost sheep of Israel. Please read Matthew 10:5, 6
Compare Matthew 28:19, 20 and Romans 10:13-15
