Feeling Lost?

Sometimes in life we lose our way, and wake up one day wondering how we got where we are. The place we find ourselves is foreign. We know we're not in God's will, but we don't know how to get back to Him.

In those times when we feel lost and alone, God is still there reaching out to us. When we are afraid of what we're facing, unsure of how to get back on the right path, and nervous about being accepted into the fold again, God is standing by.

In Jesus' parable of the lost sheep, he speaks of a shepherd who leaves his 99 sheep in search for the 1 that was lost. In the same way our Good Shepherd is willing to go into the highways and byways looking for us when we lose our way. He does not want to see any of us left behind.

We just have to position ourselves to accept His help when He comes. We have to follow His instructions to find our way through foreign territory. We have to let go of sin in order to bring our spirits back into right relationship with Him. We have to surrender our will to the Lord's will in order to get back on the right path.

We don't have to stay lost. We don't have to stay separated from God. No matter how far off we may have gotten, know that your Heavenly Father will go any distance to bring you back to Him.

Today, if you're feeling lost, cry out to the Lord. Ask Him to show you how to make your relationship right again. Tap into courage and take the necessary steps to let go of sin and embrace God's will for your life.

It doesn't matter how lost you may feel, God knows right where you are.

Verse of the Day: For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38, 39
