TODAY'S FOOD FOR THE SOUL
Luke 15: 4-10

TODAY'S RHEMA
Luke 15: 7 "I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent."

Lois considers that nothing compares to her relationship with God. She goes to church every Sunday and she has never missed her quiet time with God each day. There's only one thing which disturbs her. She has been friends with many unbelievers since Senior High School but she doesn't feel brave enough to tell them about Jesus. She's afraid to be considered as "abnormal" and that might drive her friends away. Every year, Lois' friends hold Christmas party or enjoy Christmas atmosphere provided by restaurant and café. It's certain that Lois can't join them but this year, they tried hard to convince Lois to come to their party which means she had to miss her Christmas service in Church. One of Lois' friends says: "If your faith or service is more interesting than having fun with us, then why have you never invited us to go with you?"

How many of us act as Lois? We experience the love and kindness of God but we have never told others about it. We long to get closer to God but we don't understand His heart. Don't we know that He is God who left His throne and divine nature to be born as an ordinary human for our sake? That's the price He paid to save us and He won't stop until the lost souls are found again.
