Here’s some encouraging thought!!!

Jesus our good Shepherd actively seeks for the lost sheep…remember the parable of the lost sheep?
So He spoke this parable to them, saying: “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’ I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.

The shepherd left the entire herd and went seeking for one lost sheep! Jesus Christ came to seek and to save that which was lost. When I read this word *save* I am reminded of the time when you want to save a file or document for storage and future reference. When you click the *save* command in computer operations, it means that the file to be *saved* is of importance and to be used again.

Jesus came to seek and to *save*  to redeem you, to restore you, to deliver you, to revive you (to save you and me from destruction and eternal damnation)
not just so we could be as His stored treasure or that we be seen set up in a corner somewhere as His trophies, ..no .. but because He has plans for you, for me..
Jeremiah 29:11  For I know the plans I think towards you, “says The LORD “plans of peace and not of evil to give you hope and a future.”

The Lord wants you to know about the kind of plans He has for you because “outside of His plans, you are bound to fall into plans “that lack peace” and “plans that are evil” and “plans that have no hope” and definitely “plans that lack a future” or “plans with no expected end.”
He beckons you to allow Him to do what He’s good at, which is to seek you and *save* you !
He amazingly cares for his own sheep. Cast your cares upon The Lord, for He cares for you.

Jesus is our Savior!!!
And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.” But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.” But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
Jeremiah 50:6-7 reveals the heart of God over His people… “My people have been lost sheep. Their shepherds have led them astray; They have turned them away on the mountains. They have gone from mountain to hill; They have forgotten their resting place.
All who found them have devoured them; And their adversaries said, ‘We have not offended, Because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, The LORD, the hope of their fathers.’

Can you hear Jesus calling? ..and yes He is calling your name!
Father God I have gone astray like a lost sheep; Seek Your servant, For I do not forget Your commandments.
