"For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost." Luke 19:10
According to a Florida news report, a social media search is on for a cross-shaped locket that went missing during the Disney Princess Half-Marathon this past weekend. Using Facebook, Chasity Foster posted a plea for help in finding the necklace that contained her daughter's ashes writing, "Today we ran the princess half marathon. Unfortunately because Shaylin was killed in a car accident on Jan 10, 2018 she was not able to run. She was signed up, had her costume and was ready to run. Her father took her spot and even wore her costume. During the race my necklace containing Shaylin's ashes fell off between the entrance of Magic Kingdom parking entrance toll area and where princes stood." Meanwhile, crews at Walt Disney are still searching the area hoping the missing locket will be recovered.
You know, when it comes to relentlessly searching for something that is lost, specifically something that is priceless, there's no end to what a person will do to find it, is there? And relentlessly search is the very thing Jesus did in his pursuit of you and me. You see, Jesus considered us so invaluable and irreplaceable that He did the unthinkable. The King of kings left his throne to come to this earth as flesh “to seek and to save the lost." Did you really get that though? The great “I Am” left his home in paradise to search for every person in need of salvation - the addict, the prostitute, the adulterer, the murderer, the thief on the cross, and every other sinner - so He could offer them eternal life.
So if you are questioning your worthiness today my friend, remember that God loves you so much that there's no end to what He will do to find you. You are his child. You are dearly loved. And He thinks you are so precious that your value cannot be determined.
Heavenly Father, thank You for loving us so much that you would go to the ends of the earth to seek and save us. We are so undeserving, and yet you chose to offer your grace to save us from the punishment we so deserve. Thank You for calling us your children. It's in your precious name we pray Jesus. Amen.
Happy Running!!!
