Matthew 18 (Part I): The Lost Sheep

"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 ninety-nine that did not wander off." Matthew 18:12-13

It's easy and comfortable being surrounded by fellow Christians who all share the same hope and faith in Christ. But God also loves and cares for the ones who do not know Him and ones who fall away from Him. These are the lost sheep; and we are to go after them and bring them back to Christ.

I've been praying for a certain someone for quite some time now.. And I bet if this someone were to turn about their ways and return to his Shepherd, God would be so happy to see His lost sheep come back to Him.
