Lost Sheep

Sometimes Christians can be a bit like lost sheep. They don't know where they are going and they follow the crowd. When I start getting distant from God I think about the parable in the bible called 'Lost Sheep' where the man has one hundred sheep, he loses one of them but still has ninety-nine. He goes looking and finds it, he comes home and hosts a celebration. The meaning from this parable is that heaven there is more rejoice over one sinner repenting than 99 righteous people who do not repent. Isn't that amazing? God would come and look for one person out of about 7billion! And that person could be you. It makes me feel very special. I know that when I have a lot of things going on in life I get distracted from God and become distant. When we become distant we're like lost sheep, we follow the in-crowd and don't know where we are going. I find that when I get distant from God I have bad days but don't pray immediately I just live with it but I know that Jesus can help me. I love the feeling of closeness to God, it feels just like family. If you ever feel lost or distant from God pray about and then journal or listen to worship songs or just read a passage from your favourite book in the bible. Calmness will take over and God will bring you back into his arms. He is all the time calling to you when things go wrong and you're down but sometimes we don't hear him. Keep listening. Never give up. He is your father and you're his child.

Jeremiah 50:6 My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting place.

Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
