Have you ever lost your car keys? You look everywhere and you just can’t remember where you left them. Then you find them. What a wonderful feeling. You are so happy.
There are many stories in the Bible about things that are lost.
God tells us through these stories that we are lost until we find Jesus is our Savior. Even the angels in heaven rejoice when we ask for Jesus to forgive our sin and invite Him into our lives.
Luke 15:8-10 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth
If you are not 100% sure you are forgiven for your sins, this is God’s plan for you. God loves you and has provided a way for you to be forgiven.
Jesus is the answer. He died on the cross, was buried and three days later arose from the grave. He paid the penalty for all your sins.
Invite Jesus to be your Savior, today. Simply ask Him to save you.
Lord Jesus, I admit I am a sinner. I believe You died on the cross for forgiveness of my sins. I ask that You forgive my sins, come into my heart and make my life new. I receive You as my Savior. Thank you Jesus. Amen
Pray: Lord Jesus, I admit I am a sinner, I believe you died on the cross for forgiveness of my sins. I ask that you forgive my sins, come into my heart and make my life new. I receive you as my Savior. Thank you, Jesus. Amen
With stay at home orders in many places and families are together 24/7, we can get on edge with one another. Husbands and wives lash out at each other. Siblings are bored and get in childish fights. Parents and teens argue.
The Bible tells us to love one another. Be quick to forgive and turn to the Lord to help with our uneasiness. He has forgiven us a multitude of sin. Let us forgive one another and show God’s love, especially at home.
A mouse is small and some people even think they are cute, however, if they find a way to get into the house they cause damage. They chew holes in fabric, get into food and can cause disease. They are smart. Set traps and they find a way to get around the trap.

Sin is like this small mouse. Sin finds a way to get into our lives using a small temptation. If left without getting rid of it, sin gets bigger and harder to get rid of. It damages our lives. Relationships are hurt, and our fellowship with God is ruined. The only way to get rid of sin is to block the source by confessing it and then kill it by repentance and asking Jesus to forgive. Then be diligent to not allow that sin to enter into our lives again.
Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
