Luke 15:4-7
In Luke 15:4-7 Jesus, beautifully reminds his disciples of what he would do for his children. When one is lost and feels alone Chris will find you. When you feel the weight of the world and try to hide away; Chris will be there. He will welcome you in his warm embrace and rejoice his kingdom for one of his children has returned. When you are at your lowest and feel alone. Remember God will leave the 99 to find the one.
What Will You Leave
Makes you think of when you die, right? Maybe something else. This came to me several years ago when
I was filling in for the Youth Pastor at my little church. I'll be honest, I was nervous. I've generally been a
behind the scenes kind of person but the need was there. God brought this phrase to my mind. I knew He
wasn't talking about when I die necessarily but wherever I go. When I leave a restaurant, the grocery
store, my job, etc., I leave an impression or a “mark” per say. Does the cashier, waitress, coworker think
of me as a slob? Possibly a rude person? Or even better as a kind person that made someone feel special
even for a few moments. Did they see me as different? The kind of different that they want to be. The
Bible talks about being set apart. Being strong and courageous. Being BOLD in our faith and making
disciples of ALL men.
Go out and BE BOLD! Leave behind the love of Christ. Make them want what you've got.
