“For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I, I myself will search for my sheep and will seek them out.”
(Ezekiel 34:11 ESV)
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
(Luke 19:10 ESV)
It’s hard to believe how fast the years go by. Today is my birthday. God has granted me another year. I am so thankful Jesus searched and found me after I stopped going to church all those years ago. Jesus will search for you no matter how far you have strayed. That’s just what He does! “What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray?” (Matthew 18:12 ESV)
Jesus pursues. He will pursue you no matter where ypu are. In the bar? Jesus is there. Deep into drugs? Jesus is there. Is He there when you have marital or work problems? Of course He is. He is everywhere. Jesus is faithful. Always was, always will be.
He gave me another year. I have had my ups and downs this past year, but the one constant was Jesus. He was always with me. So, I thank God for another year. With His grace and mercy, this will be a good year. And I will have many more.
Have a great day, everyone.
