DIRTY CHILD AT THE LOST AND FOUND DEPARTMENT

 
Luke 15:24
 
"For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to celebrate." ESV 
 
For some reason, we seem to expect blessings in life when we don't give God the Creator the time of day. Surprisingly, He gives us what we ask for, without realizing where it will take us and how He will work things out for us. When we find ourselves in the most hopeless of conditions, lost and afraid, we turn toward Him. We hope by chance He will give us the opportunity to be even the lowest of His servants. The truth is, when He sees us coming, He runs to us, puts His arms around us, and says, "Welcome home, my child." How unworthy we are to be called His children! How great and awesome is His love for us!
 
Heavenly Father, we bow before You knowing we are totally unworthy to even be in Your presence. We ask You to forgive us for our selfishness and godless ways. We can never repay Your mercy and grace that takes us into Your arms and speaks to our hearts that You love us always. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

WHERE ARE OUR HEARTS?

 
 
1 Chronicles 28:9
 
"And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve him with a whole heart and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches all hearts and understands every plan and thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever." ESV
 


It is easy for our spiritual gifts from God to become our own. If that happens, our total devotion and intentions of the heart become tainted and our God receives no glory from the very gifts we are given for His use. But God is faithful. He is always monitoring our hearts and prompting us to get our spirits in tune with Him. If we look to Him to do this and obey, He will make Himself known to us. If we continue in our own selfish way, we will be left to our own destructive course.
 


Heavenly Father, it is so easy to be distracted by the things of this world. Forgive us for letting down our guard and for not seeking You with our whole heart. Help us to stay alert and committed to You and Your way so that we will know You and be found good and faithful servants. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
