Have you ever found something you thought you had lost forever? How did it feel?

Imagine completing a 500-piece jigsaw puzzle, except for one missing piece. You could look everywhere until you give up hope of ever finding the piece, only to have it turn up when you aren’t looking for it a few weeks later. Imagine how excited you’d be to finally complete the puzzle.

In Luke 15, Jesus talks about several lost things – a lost sheep, a lost coin, and a lost son – that were all found.

I’m thankful that God never gives up on the lost, and we need to do the same with boys who have seemingly lost their way.
