Luke 15:8-10

God searches for you…let that sink in, He searches for you. 

The One that you loved since childhood but so betrayed in the divorces and failures that became your life. That One, He looks anxiously for your return. It is so hard to imagine a love like that when everyone else has lost all respect for you. You had become in their eyes the biggest of hypocrites, that great love and that fire you had for Christ…..all covered in the failures. You are of value to the Creator of this world. There is hope. There is mercy and grace. He has been waiting for you. 

Let the blood of Christ cover you in His righteousness.

Gr. drachma, a valuable coin often worn in a ten-piece garland by married women 

Luke 15:8-10

⁸ “Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? ⁹ And when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I lost!’ ¹⁰ Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

Luke 15:4–7 

⁴ “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? ⁵ And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. ⁶ And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’ ⁷ I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.
