Lost

 Have you ever lost something?

 This is most probably

a very easy question to answer,

as all of us most

likely, very often will

have lost something.

We very often lose things

which upon careful

searching and considering

where we last saw the

lost item or when we last

used it, generally we

find it. 

How infuriating is it though

when you lose something which

at that moment in time

you really do need?

And also how often

is that just the case?

But what if we lose

something that is of 

great value to us,

what then is our reaction?

We know that before

we were Christians

we were lost, we were

living as one that was lost.

It was only as we came to

realise the truth

of Christ Jesus that we 

became as something

that has been found.

Yet as we look at some of 

the parables that 

Jesus spoke, when teaching

he refers to things that 

have been lost.

Think of those things you

would not wish to

lose and to what lengths

you would go to find them.

What price would

you be willing to pay

to get the lost thing back?

God saw us in this way,

he values us above 

what we may consider

or realise.

This is why he gave

his only son to find

that which was lost.

And that is us.

So next time that you 

lose something,

consider God's love

for you in the 

price he paid for you.
