As a child I remember losing…These days I frequently lose…
The biggest loss I ever had is…
The worst
thing I could
lose is…
When I find
what I have lost
I feel…
We all know what it is like to lose something, or someone, or to feel lost ourselves. Imagine, if you can, how God feels when He "loses" us? Or, when we lose God. Over the years, we may wander far from God. We may not even think much about Him. And yet...
A famous Swiss psychologist, Carl Jung, had this sign on the doorway to his house:

"Bidden or not bidden, God is here."
No matter how frantically we search for answers, or love, or peace, or thrills, God holds us fast. In God's eyes, we are always found. Remember the words of the famous hymn we listened to tonight by Will L. Thompson: "Softly and tenderly, Jesus is calling. Calling for you and for me."
Today's Journey Scripture
Luke 15: 1-10
Luke 15: 1-10
1 Now all the tax-collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to him. 2 And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, ‘This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them.’
3 So he told them this parable:
4 ‘Which one of you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that is lost until he finds it?
5 When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders and rejoices.
6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbours, saying to them, “Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.”
7 Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.
8 ‘Or what woman having ten silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?
9 When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbours, saying, “Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.”
10 Just so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.’
