Sheep: BAAAAAHHHH

The great thing about our God is that he is seeking out all of his children and all of his creation. Even though he may have 99 of his Lambs he doesn't care, he is waiting on that one. He wants all of his hundred to be there and he is going out into the darkness where that one is that alone, confused, and searching. He wants the one that no one else did; the one that is so broken that people say that he's too fragile that that lamb doesn't belong with us: he wandered off and it is his problem. We are not to blame for this and we still have 99. But instead Jesus is like that lamb is still mine too, and he knew our name before our parents picked it out; he knit us together in our mother's womb. He called us child even before our Earthly parents did. He knew us. And he waited for us. They are not too far gone for me; this child can still come home. He didn't care that that person had sinned a hundred times he said through me you can be free: free of that sin that you are still paying the cost for, because he took that price tag away as soon as his son came down to dwell with us and in us. He said come to me all who are weary and broken hearted and I will give you rest. I will restore your Brokenness. Because no person is too broken to be healed by me. No person is too far gone. Every lamb is worth saving, because they are still my child and I will love them despite their mistakes, despite their screwed up intentions, and despite wandering off. Because my love is something deeper than materialistic worldly morals. My love is out of place that never runs dry and no matter what you do, you receive that. There's not some application that you fill out, there isn't a guide to a being perfect Christian, and most importantly there isn’t fine print. But there is a path to a true relationship with God: it's called talking. Talking to the one who made you; talking and praying and building that relationship. When you have people in your life, you need to be in constant communication with them, you need to connect with them. It is something you build on it's not something you can just have in an instant and never need it again. And it shouldn’t be a chore to read your bible or pray. It should be an amazing feeling to get to know the father who knew you before you knew yourself, because that's what he wants for us. He wants a relationship, he wants our love because he's already given us his. And nothing you say or do can ever change that. Even if you are that lost sheep, he's not giving up. He finds you and brings you back to the herd. He draws you into the shepherd: whose only intention is to protect you and keep all of his sheep together.
