“Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it?
And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’ In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
Luke 15:8-10 (NIV)
Dear Lord, what a beautiful parable this is. Through it, I can see how much You love us and pursue us with unfathomable devotion. And I can see Your angels full of jubilation and delight when we finally repent.
I never stop loving these profound stories for they teach us the ways of heaven.
