Finding whats Lost

Have you ever lost something that was so valuable only to find it later, about a year ago I had this experience where upon taking my camera out of my pocket at a skate session at the Edenvale Post Office my car keys fell out and as a result when it was time to go and by then I was by the old mutual building realised that I didn't have my car keys, with my gut feel telling me to go back to the post office there they were lying on the paving in plain sight. Now why this story and how does it relate to the gospel message. Well anyone in that time frame could have picked up the car keys and possibly took off in my car but by Gods grace every single person walking past had no desire and just left the keys on the ground, had I had waited an hour I would have had a scenario where my car keys possibly would have vanished. There's a story in the bible that relates and its the parrable of the lost sheep where Jesus tells of a farmer who loses one of his sheep, sets out to find it and when he does, rejoices. We are like those lost sheep or that set of car keys that go missing in that sometimes we distant ourselves from God and like the story of Adam and Eve God is wandering around saying where are you. God wants to find us and use us to bring about a 100% rate of followers who are completely devoted to his word and all we need to do is tell them about a man who lived over 2000 years ago named Jesus and the price he paid for them.
