I remember the first time I heard the song Reckless Love. I was sitting in the parking lot of my apartments. I was so broken and lost. For the first time in years I had switched my music to Christian music and this song came on, I almost turned it but for some reason I listened. I begin to think about my life and wondered if God would run to me if I cried out to Him.
When I heard, “there’s no shadow you won’t light up mountain you won’t climb up coming after me.” Something deep inside begin to change.
At that moment I felt peace that I could be restored but my life was in such a mess I couldn’t see a way of escape. As I walked in my apartment and went to my room I just began to cry. For the first time my heart realized that I needed to be reconnected to my Savior. I knew the life I was living was leading me straight to hell but my shame kept me away from the presence of God.
Each time I would be overwhelmed I would listen to that song and my heart strings were being pulled. All at once on a Saturday morning I decided to leave the life I was living and go to church. I went that Sunday morning and haven’t turned back.There were areas God had to clean up. I realized that God left the 99 to find me. I realized that shame couldn’t keep His love from me.
Maybe you’re in that place of praying for someone who’s lost, don’t stop; I’m telling you those prayers are the reason I’m here. Those prayers are the reason I’ve been redeemed and restored.The devil can’t stop my purpose or my calling.
Maybe you have stumbled and you’re too ashamed to get back up. The enemy wants you to stay down because there is power in the come back testimony.
God never changes His mind about your calling.
Love the prodigals in your life and pray for their restoration.
I’m living proof of what the mercy of God can do.
Luke 15:4-74-7
“Suppose one of you had a hundred sheep and lost one. Wouldn’t you leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the lost one until you found it? When found, you can be sure you would put it across your shoulders, rejoicing, and when you got home call in your friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Celebrate with me! I’ve found my lost sheep!’ Count on it—there’s more joy in heaven over one sinner’s rescued life than over ninety-nine good people in no need of rescue.
