What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety0nine that did not wander off. In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost. -Matt 18:12-14
I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
-Luke 15:7
In the same way, i tell you, there is more rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents. -Luke 15:10
My son, the father said, you are always with me, and everything i have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.
-Luke 15:31-32
(i am always so excited and happy when someone receives Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. Aren't u excited too? There is one more added to the kingdom of God, one more we'll see in heaven. Praise God! and do you know all the heavens rejoice when just or even if only 1 comes to accept God? just one. just one wayward son who comes back. The heavens rejoice!!! and i rejoice with the heavens too! =) how abt u? do u need to come back to God? or do u need God in your life? Do u know, God is always reaching out to man?)"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I WILL BE FOUND BY YOU, declares the Lord, and will bring you back from captivity..."
-Jer 29:13
Before the world began, you were on his mind
And every tear you've cried is precious in his eyes
Because of His great love, He gave His only Son
And everything was done so you would come
Nothing you can do can make Him love you more
And nothing that you've done can make Him close the door
Because of His great love, He gave His only Son
And everything was done so you would come
Come to the Father, though your gift is small
Broken hearts, broken lives
He will take them all
The power of the Word, the power of His Love
And everything was done so you would come...
i wanna pray for u. will cont to pray for u. guess it is not easy for u, i've just began to understand a bit of how strayed sheeps feel... (i've strayed before, i've seen people stray)...do u know u needed to come back, wants to come back, yet too ashamed to? u feel unworthy,u say u are not qualified,u say: no point wasting God's time, no point wasting other's prayers and no point making people disappointed again and again, there's no hope for me, u say. no point asking me to come back. i'm too far away. i can't.
well, u can. bcos God can. it warms my heart each time i see people, men and women return to God, come to know God. repentence is not for the perfect, good and pleasing. repentence is for the wayward child. repentence is for those who have strayed away. repentence is for sinners (who admit they are). please listen to what God has to say. can u hear him calling you to his side. can u see him waiting at the far end. can u see his searching face, for a child he has lost. can you see his hand extended to u. will u hold it?
your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost.
