Unconditional desire: God calls us to Himself
Олексій • 1 year назад
Are you relentlessly following Jesus? Lost the way to Jesus? Do you doubt Jesus?
It is true that you are important to Jesus. Yes, you are.
There are no strings attached to God’s love and longing for you. You matter to Jesus; He calls you by name to come to Him and wants you to be with Him.
Read these words again: He wants you to be with Him. In Matthew 18:12, Jesus shares this parable:
“Do you think that if one of you has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountainside and go look for it?” (UTM)
This is not just a story; it is the encouraging reality of Jesus’ love and commitment to each of His own. Jesus, the Good Shepherd, never abandons His sheep. Never. He diligently seeks the lost.
We all have moments when we feel like lost sheep. Sometimes we feel like we’ve lost our way. But remember: you are not forgotten and you matter to Jesus. He cares for those who have gone astray, as well as the ninety-nine who stayed by (Matthew 18:13). So, draw close to Him today.
Therefore, wherever you are on your spiritual path, Jesus is looking for you, calling you by name not only to follow Him, but also to be with Him.
