Thankful Thursday~God's Love

Luke 15:4-10
(4 ) What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

(5) And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

(6) And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.

(7) I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
(8) Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?

(9) And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.

(10) Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

I am so thankful today for the love of God in my life and in my family's life. If you have read my past post from Sunday through yesterday, you will know a little more of what I am talking about.

It completely amazes me how much God loves us, longs for us to be a part of His family and the lengths He will go to for our lost loved ones.

My son, like many of your loved ones, is that little lost sheep. BUT, God has stopped what He is doing and is out looking for that one. He is working in their lives as we speak so that we will all be rejoicing when that one comes home, being carried safely in the Father's arms.

I am so thankful that God is able to look for more than "one" at a time. He doesn't have to wait until He brings mine back to the flock before He goes looking for yours.

Father God, I thank you today for loving my son so much that you would leave the rest of the flock to find Him. You have proven time and time again that your hand is on Brandon's life and you are working in him. Thank you that you loved him enough to make changes in the script on Sunday because you knew he would be there when no one else outside of our family knew this. I am longing for the day when I will be rejoicing with you as Brandon returns to the His fold. I am thanking you in advance for his safe return to you.

Have a wonderfully blessed day!
