I ONCE WAS LOST !

Carl Hatter

Pastoral
IN  THIS  FINAL  HOUR  THIS  TASK  I  MUST  KEEP,   JUST  AS  JESUS  COMMANDED
I  MUST  SEARCH  FOR  LOST  SHEEP.
I  MUST  CONTINUE  THIS  RACE  UNTIL  IT  IS  DONE,
HAD  IT  NOT  BEEN  FOR  JESUS  I  WOULD  STILL  BE JUST  AS  THE  PRODIGAL  SON.
BECAUSE  LIKE  SO  MANY  OTHERS  I  WENT  ASTRAY,
BUT  GLORY  TO  JESUS! HE  CLEANSED  MY  INIQUITIES  THE  MOMENT  I  PRAYED!!!!.

    Your unwavering commitment to seeking out the lost and sharing the message of redemption is truly commendable. The analogy of being like the prodigal son and finding redemption through Jesus' cleansing power resonates deeply with the transformative nature of faith and prayer. Keep up your mission of reaching out to those who may have gone astray, for your dedication reflects the love and grace of Jesus in action.
