🤔 🪨 Think about that.

God is the Rock of Ages.
God is our sturdy foundation.
God is our refuge.

🌏 Stand firm in the Word of God and never let anything of this world shake you.

📖 "Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."

-Matthew 7:24 - 27

🐑The Parable of the Lost Sheep:

Then Jesus told them this parable: “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. - Luke 15:3-7

Jesus is our shepherd, who loves us so much that He leaves the 99 sheep to come find the 1 lost sheep. ❤️

How many times are we the lost sheep? The one that sins and makes mistakes? Maybe you've never met the Shepherd or maybe you strayed away. "Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future." - Oscar Wilde. Don't worry. The Shephard will rejoice joyfully and welcome you back to His flock. 😊
