Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’ In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

What comes to mind today is that Jesus won’t just sit back and wait for us to return to Him. He pursues you…sweeps until He finds. Sometimes when we lose something we say something like, “Well it will pop back up eventually.” That’s not the reaction of Jesus when we are lost. No, for Jesus, He gets to work. He sweeps and searches until He finds us. Know today, if you’re lost, you are on His mind. He is in pursuit of you. You are important to Him. So much so that He isn’t just sitting back hoping you’ll pop back up…but He is sweeping and searching…for you.
