Who can say that they have never felt lost in their life? Who can say they have never taken a wrong turn when a fork in the road is presented? Who can say that they have never been thrown off track?
I definitely can’t! I’ve been turned around and lost too many times to count. Most of the time, people make being lost sound scary. (I blame horror movies. The car breaks down on the wrong road, so you have to walk on some dark road through the woods…)
But my favorite quote makes all that fear go away, and the person who said it is the Strongest man I have ever known or will ever know. “If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it?” Jesus said this about us! It’s an amazing reminder of how much He loves us and me. I’ve been the 100th sheep sooo many times, and each and every time, He has come and found me.
Another verse that speaks to my heart is: I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. John14:18 I love this because Jesus was saying that no matter where you are or what you’re going through, I’m going to meet you there and bring you some comfort. I dont have to go searching for him, he’s gonna come to me. When these moments happen, I like to think He is holding me as I cry or guiding my hand through a storm. Being my beacon of light in all the chaos that we call life.
Some people may have an issue with my answers, and that’s ok. But these are the quotes that I live by. I would love to hear yours. What words inspire you?
