LOST SHEEP
"A man owns a hundred sheep and one of them wanders away; will he not
leave the ninety-nine out on the hills and go in search of the
stray?" —Matthew 18:12
Would you leave ninety-nine pressing matters to go in search of a stray?
Would you stop all church activities to reach out to the lost? Would you
interrupt your schedule, work, and life to share your faith with someone
fallen away? Jesus has a heart for the stray sheep. He cries when He sees
them (Lk 19:41). He drops everything to seek them. His heart is moved with
pity (Mt 9:36). There's more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents
than over ninety-nine others (Lk 15:7).
Do you have Christ's heart for the strays? Would you even be separated
from Christ, if it would help the lost come back? (Rm 9:3) How much do you
care? Begin now to pray ten days for Christ's heart. Possibly for the
first time in your life, you will shed tears for the lost sheep. You will
share your faith and pray with a greater intensity than you've had in
years.
"Draw close to God, and He will draw close to you. Cleanse your hands, you
sinners; purify your hearts, you backsliders. Begin to lament, to mourn,
and to weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy into
sorrow. Be humbled in the sight of the Lord and He will raise you on high"
(Jas 4:8-10).
Prayer: Sacred Heart of Jesus, make my heart like Yours.
Promise: "It is the Lord Who marches before you; He will be with you and
will never fail you or forsake you. So do not fear or be dismayed." —Dt
31:8
Praise: St. Clare left behind all that secular society had to offer to
follow the Lord in simplicity and poverty. She pursued her call to follow
Jesus like St. Francis, despite opposition from friends and family.
