4 “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
Today, I looked at my ninety-nine, but my heart was with the one which is lost.
I don't know how many of you have ever lost something before, something precious to you.
It could be your handphone, or your wallet?
Something that you had to pay a price for.
Maybe you had to save up a full month for that new handphone, the latest model, with 2.0 megapixel camera, 1GB memory stick, in-ear headphones...
That's my phone by the way.
You love it.
You adore it.
Then it goes missing.
You get frantic.
You pray.
You can't think of anything else till you find your phone..that's the only thing that'll set you at ease.
Today, God showed me how He felt when He found that He had only 99 sheep, that 1 was missing.
Do you know what wilderness means?
Wilderness speaks of a barren place, of scorpions, dry land and death.
Yet, without hesitation, He leaves the 99 in the wilderness in search of 1.
That's how much He loves.
That's God's heart.
That's Pastor's heart.
That's Dominic's heart.
That's Fifi's heart.
That's my heart.
Pastors lead 700 member church, and yet they're still asking about you!
That's how much they love you...
I know that that's about how much they love me too, and it means the world to me.
Don't lose fire.
Don't lose your sight.
I remember, you have great visions for God.
You wanted to sing on the worship team.
Keep those dreams alive!
Pastors, Dominic, Fifi and I, we all believe in you.
He's not going to rest, till He finds that one lost sheep. And then there'll be great celebration and rejoicing!
You have a place here.
You have a place in God's heart.
You are so important.
I miss you loads.
