It makes you keep going.
You just can't stop
because your heart is beating so fast
that if you stopped you think your heart would stop.
Because something is pulling you that wants you so bad
that it drives you to keep going.
And then you FIND IT.
What you have been SEEKING for your whole life.
Just like the woman who lost a coin. She still had nine coins,
yet she wouldn't stop
she couldn't stop
until she FOUND the ONE~
"And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says,
‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin' "(Luke 15:9.)
SEEK & THEE SHALL FIND.
And then there is the father whose younger son
left home on purpose
to find a bigger purpose
leaving his father and older brother home.
Oh he was SEEKING and he FOUND lots
as he squandered his inheritance
SEEKING LOVE in all the wrong places.
And oh the father waited.
And then it happened.
The LOST son is SEEN coming down the path
by his waiting father
who immediately
runs to
wrap his arms around him.
His son SEEKING what he thought would FIND him~
what he thought he wanted~
when what he needed was what he had the whole time.
The LOVE of his father
that was so great that
FORGIVENESS wrapped his arms around
who was LOST and was now FOUND~
" 'Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate.
For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is FOUND.’
So they began to celebrate" (Luke 15:22-24).
SEEK & THEE shall be FOUND by the ONE
who SEEKS the LOST
who LOVES the LOST
and will leave the 99 to find the ONE
for
GOD wants no one to PERISH~
and HE means no one.
Even the "worse of the worse",
for who Paul claims to have been,
yet
JESUS
put HIS ROBE of FORGIVENESS on HIM~
UNLEASHING Saul to become PAUL
UNLEASHING the PRODIGAL to become HIS child
UNLEASHING you & me & everyone else~
"For the SON OF MAN came to seek and to save the lost" (Luke 19:10).
From RAGS TO RICHES because
HE takes our RAGS and exchanges them for HIS RICHES
the moment we
SEEK HIM with our whole heart mind and soul.
"I tell you, in the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance" (Luke 15:7)
So come to the CROSS and bring your RAGS
for JESUS has a ROBE waiting for you
with no questions asked,
as all you have to do is
"COME TO THE WELL"*
because wasn't it there where JESUS saved the LOST samaritan woman?
