Title: A Lost Sheep

(S) cripture:
`    Luke 15:4 (NASB) “What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?

(O) bservation:
    Every person is important and we as shepherds are to go after those that stray away. That one life is important to God and should be to us also.

(A) pplication:
    If I am to be faithful to my call then I must not neglect going after those that stray away. The search may take me to places or situations where I am not comfortable but my comfort is not the point. I am to search and find and hopefully restore the ones that have lost their way. I must r=trust that the church can care for itself while I am searching for the one that is lost.

(P) rayer:
    Lord, give me the strength, courage, and wisdom I need as I search for those that have strayed away. Give me boldness as I speak and work in their hearts to bring about restoration. Amen
