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.

WE KNOW WHERE WE STARTED

 
Isaiah 51:1

 

"Listen to me, your who pursue righteousness, you who seek the Lord: look to the rock from which your were hewn, and to the quarry from which your were dug." ESV

 

For those who are serious about following after righteousness, God says to recall where we were when He called us. He brought us from hopeless conditions from which we could not save ourselves. If we remember what He did for us, we will be more humble, attentive in our walk with Him. He will provide us with compassion and understanding for those who are still stuck in their mud pit.

 

Heavenly Father, forgive us for forgetting the place where we were wallowing when You rescued us. Help us to keep Your rescue of us in the front of our minds as we come across those who are still struggling. Give us wisdom to know what You would have us do to help them so that they will have reason to rejoice and never forget where they were when You rescued them. In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
