Today Jesus asked me,
"Do you know how much I love you?" I was reminded of the parable of the lost sheep. I am Indeed touched that He will go all out to bring us back even though we may be sinner but sinners who repent... together in this passage is Parable of the Lost Coin and Parable of the lost son...
Do you know how much Jesus loves you? He rejoices when each of u who is lost BUT is found again. Don't hide or run away from Him. Today, run back into His forgiving and loving arms.
Luke 15
The Parable of the Lost Sheep 1Now the tax collectors and "sinners" were all gathering around to hear him. 2But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them."
3Then Jesus told them this parable: 4"Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.' 7I 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.
The Parable of the Lost Coin 8"Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins[a] and loses one. Does she not light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? 9And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.' 10In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."
The Parable of the Lost Son 11Jesus continued: "There was a man who had two sons. 12The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them.
13"Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.
17"When he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired men.' 20So he got up and went to his father.
"But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
21"The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.[b]'
22"But the father said to his servants, 'Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. 24For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate.
25"Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27'Your brother has come,' he replied, 'and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.'
28"The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29But he answered his father, 'Look! All these years I've been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!'
31" 'My son,' the father said, 'you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' "

Are you sharing the same HEARTBEAT?
Ask yourself... Have you been placing your spiritual family in life? Is there any relationship build up? Or there wasn't any progression....?
Everyone in the spiritual family comes with different characters... Just like our own biological family. At times we might detest on one another, maybe due to the way we present ourselves... Or the different opinion we had on certain things... And here comes conflicts.
But, in the end.... God is always the one putting all the broken pieces back... Or... Have the things in the WORLD interest you so much that it's leading you on?
Or have you just simply forgotten the Love of His...
Forgotten how He had pull you through your exams... How He had picked you up from a broken relationship and embrace you into the arms of His... Forgotten how a friend He had been to you... He hears all your words... All your angers and Joy... Everything that's from you... Who can be so interested to hear all this than Him alone...
Have you been treating your spiritual family like a hotel? Where you just check in and out? And comes back only when the world had fail you... and when you felt that you are so broken...? But, your spiritual mummy had never treated like you had left home before... She will still open up her arms to give you a hug that you had lost and missed for so long...
Think about how you had treated your spiritual mother? Have you really respected her as one? How many times have we broken her heart? For even little things that we don't notice... We might had hurt her... But, all this doesn't numb her heart... She continue to shed her love for us... To keep us away from harm... To give us the best she could... What she want is like any mother on earth... To see her child grow... To grow victorious...
It's not easy for a family to share the same heartbeat... But, as long as we stay faithful with God and share the same heartbeat as His... Very soon... All of us in the family will share the same heartbeat too...
There's alot of commitment in the family... Have you done yours? Have you try your best to stay close together? And even stay close to the Lord Jesus, who knows you even better than anyone else?
If you are lost... Lost in the field... The Lord says... Come... Come... come back to the Father...

Today I read this interesting passage...a story to share with all!
There's this preacher who was proclaiming the love of God and calling man to repentance. A heckler walked by and said, "Shut up, old man. You're just a dreamer." In a few moments, the twelve-year-old daughter of the street preacher tapped the heckler on the shoulder, pulled him aside, and said, "Mister, I don't know who you are, but I want to tell you that that's my father who is preaching. He used to be addicted to alcohol. He would come home and steal my clothes and sell them to satisfy his cravings. But when God saved him, he got a job, started working, and began buying clothes and shoes and shcool books. He never drank another drop of alcohol. Now, in all of his spare time, he tells people what God has done in his life. So, Mister, if my daddy is dreaming, don't wake him up. Please dont wake him up."
this story reminds me of my dreams...goals for this year, 60 gals. can i go on dreaming? do i have gals who dream along with me? i wish i can go on dreaming until i see this gals worshipping the Lord....what a beautiful sight...
