God wants us to be extravagant in seeking his lost sheep.

“If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders. When he arrives, he will call together his friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice


with me because I have found my lost sheep.’ In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away!” (Luke 15:4–7, NLT)


“Why spend your money on food that does not give you strength? Why pay for food that does you no good?... (Isaiah 55:2a, NLT)


“Why spend your money on food that does not give you strength? Why pay for food that does you no good? “Listen to me, and you will eat what is good. You will enjoy the finest food.” (Isaiah 55:2, NLT)


“Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? (Romans 2:4, NLT)


“So he returned home to his father. And while he was still a long way off, his father saw him coming. Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him.” (Luke 15:20, NLT)


“Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.


Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.” (1 Corinthians 13:4–7, NLT)


“But his father said to the servants, ‘Quick! Bring the finest robe in the house and put it on him. Get a ring for his finger and sandals for his feet. And kill the calf we have been fattening. We must celebrate with a feast, for this son of mine was dead and has now returned to life. He was lost, but now he is found.’ So the party began.” (Luke 15:22–24, NLT)

Prayer of ConfessionLoving God I confess that I am more like a Pharisee than the loving father.I am quick to judge.I hold back on my generosity.I don’t want to forgive.Forgive me, Lord.Change me from the inside out.So that as I live this week, I can live extravagantly outward.In Jesus name I pray Amen
