Jesus said when a woman loses one of ten pieces of silver coins, she doesn’t go ranting or become uncontrollably distraught. No, she calms down, puts herself together, lights a candle, picks up a broom, looks, searches, looks again, searches in every possible nook and cranny, until she finds it. And when she finds it, she rejoices greatly, calling on her friends and neighbours to come celebrate with her (Luke 15:8-9)
I heard about a young man who was said to have committed such hideous crimes that has made him almost like a fugitive in his own land. Everyone that narrated the story blamed him as being solely responsible for his current plight which they attributed to his insatiable desire for wealth and meaning in life. Every time I heard about this story, all I could think about was how he was coping wherever he found to hide.
Heaven blessed me on this beautiful day, when my phone buzzed and it was him. My excitement knew no bounds. All I kept saying to him was how much I’d missed seeing him, missed talking with him, etc. I wanted to know about his health and general wellbeing. I asked about his mental health and health numbers. I was so happy to connect with him that there was no time to play blame games. Even though I’d heard about his story many times, I didn’t still have the full details of his crimes, I needn’t know, I wasn’t interested in him rehashing it either. There must be a way out. God must have a way out for him. So I assured him of how much God loved him and that I was confident that God would extricate him from his present woes if he let Him.
Throughout the entire length of my talk with this person, all he did was weep, and weep and weep. These were tears of relief and gratitude that at least one person didn’t scold or condemn him like everyone else had.

The Kingdom of Heaven is not about blame or condemnation, but about love, faith, and hope. It is about righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Do you feel lost, unwanted, ignored, condemned or hopeless? Jesus is waiting with arms open wide to receive you, and love you and make you NEW.
Dear God, today, I believe in my heart that Jesus is your Son. I believe that He died and rose up from the dead for my just to save me. Lord Jesus, please come into my life right now, I confess you as my Lord and Saviour. Thank You Father for saving me, in Jesus Name. Amen.
Congratulations & Welcome to the Family of God!
