Have you ever lost something that was valuable to you? Maybe it was a homework assignment or money or your purse, a housekey or maybe it was a piece of jewelry that meant a lot to you.
For me, when I was in high school, I lost a necklace that meant a lot to me. See, growing up I didn’t have a lot of money so when someone got me a gift, I cherished that gift with everything I had. Well, this necklace that was given to me meant a lot to me, because not only was it a gift from a friend of mine, but it was a nice necklace…made of gold…and a lot of thought had gone into that gift.
And guess what? One day, I was out practicing some soccer drills in my yard for about an hour. As I was packing up to head back inside, I realize that my necklace was no longer around my neck! So now the panic starts to set in.
See, I don’t think I mentioned it, but our yard wasn’t a small yard, we lived on 3 acres. And where did I lose it? In our huge yard of all places!
When I realized that I lost it, I didn’t just throw my hands in the air and say, “Oh well, no big deal” and then pack up my soccer equipment and head inside. No! I frantically searched my whole yard walking up and down in lines…scouring every bit of it…and guess what? I actually found that necklace! You can only imagine how excited I was! I felt like I could throw a party, I was so excited!
Did you know that this is the same thing (well, minus the panic) that God does when He sees someone who has not yet accepted Him as their Lord and Savior? He sees the people He created as the most valuable things ever created. When they are lost and wandering on their own without Him, it makes His heart sad. He wants more than anything to be in a relationship with them, because He knows that when they come home to Him, that they will begin to really experience life and love and joy and peace.
