Are you lost or are you found?
We all wandered away from God and we're all trying to get back to Him. Every single attempt to find the "thing" that makes us "happy" is our own way to find our way back.
God did for us what we couldn't do for ourselves, He sent Jesus to find us! Jesus told the parable of the lost sheep to explain the heart of the Father. The Good Shepherd leaves the 99 lambs, to go search for the very one that is lost. This shows that God stops at nothing to find those who need Him and bring them back safely into His presence. Just as lost sheep cannot find the Shepherd on their own - lost people cannot find God on their own.
The first thing is to realize you are lost.
Imagine if you are a hiker who has lost his way. After hours of searching for the right path, you decide to set up camp in an unknown forest and declare it your "new home". You will no longer try to be rescued, you will no longer try to find the path you just try to make yourself more comfortable, creating an illusion that you found your new place.
Then you will try all the good things to make you happy, new relationships, alcohol, sex, money, a new job -- only leaving you empty because you know down in your heart that - that is not your home.
Know that God has a place prepared for you. Understand that your way back to Him - to your real home - is through Jesus.
We're all lost and hopeless because of our sins. But God sent Jesus to this world to make the way for us back to the Father, dying for our sins, shedding His blood for us.
That big gap between us and God is closed by Jesus. Because of His mercy and love, you can come back home!!
There is only one door — that door is JESUS!!
Come to Him NOW!!
He's coming for His Church!!
