“Or
what woman, if she has ten silver coins and loses one coin, does not light a
lamp and sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it?”
“When
she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice
with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost!’
“In
the same way, I tell you there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over
one sinner who repents.”
Luke
15:8-10
I
do not own much jewelry but I like the jewelry I have and wear it often. Several years ago, I arrived at work and
found that one of my earrings was missing.
I looked around on the floor and did not see it. After work, I checked the inside of my
car. Then I checked my house, looking in
the bathroom and shaking out the clothes in the clothes hamper. I did not find it. For days I went around looking for the
earring, finally I gave up on finding it.
About
two weeks later, at work I parked my car one parking space over from where I
usually parked. When I got out of my
car, there on the parking lot pavement was my earring. It was in perfect condition. I was very happy. I told all my co-workers about finding my
earring. I still have the earrings
today.
If
we can find joy in finding a small piece of jewelry, then imagine the great
celebration in heaven when a lost soul finds Jesus and turns his/her life
around.
God
loves and values you. Ask Jesus into
your life, and trigger a heavenly celebration.
