Matthew 12 “What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? 13 And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off.14 In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.
My prayer and reflection:
I thank you for every morning that I get the chance to wake up. Thank you for the opportunity to go to work, for my job, for my strength to fulfill my workloads, for keeping my mind sane amidst all the stress and chaos of my everyday life and above all, the blessing of having my Kathryn and my family and friends.
May I ask you God, to guard my heart and conscience in everything I do. At times when I've been trying to be fair but misjudged. When I help but I am not appreciated. At times when people abuse my little kindness , please don't allow my soul to be bitter.
Lord please forgive me too for all my sins - for having my own shares of misjudgement, for all ill feelings toward others, for basing my happiness on material wealth, for all my complains, for a weak faith, for a jealous heart, and for all the right things I should have done but unable to do it.
May I not forget to remember that as your sheep You will always look after me when Im lost .
