Luke 15: 1-10
The tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to listen to Jesus, but the Pharisees and scribes began to complain, saying, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them." So Jesus addressed this parable to them. "What man among you having a hundred sheep and losing one of them would not leave the ninety-nine in the desert and go after the lost one until he finds it? And when he does find it, he sets it on his shoulders with great joy and, upon his arrival home, he calls together his friends and neighbors and says to them, 'Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.' I tell you, in just the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance.
"Or what woman having ten coins and losing one would not light a lamp and sweep the house, searching carefully until she finds it? And when she does find it, she calls together her friends and neighbors and says to them, 'Rejoice with me because I have found the coin that I lost.' In just the same way, I tell you, there will be rejoicing among the angels of God over one sinner who repents."
Dawg's Thought:
Today's prayer intention - for the repose of the soul of Dalmacia Caballes.
You are the joy of God!
Recently, I stood as the best man next to a friend of mine as his beautiful bride walked down the isle. He cried tears of joy as she walked down the isle. He couldn't believe how beautiful she was.
I was in the delivery room when a baby was born to a mother who was hardened by living a life on the streets. When her baby was born, she was no longer the scared girl who lived a hard life. She was a mother rejoicing in the beauty of her son. He couldn't believe how beautiful he was.
You are the joy of God! How must my friend's bride have felt as she walked down the isle? If that baby could only see how much joy he brought her mother.
You are the joy of God!
Take care and God Bless.
