 What do you think, if a man owns a hundred sheep and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the 99 on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the 99 that did not wander. Are you the sheep that's gone astray? God loves you too much to leave you to your compromise. The Holy Spirit is more patient than you are stubborn, more loving than you are flawed. You haven't gone too far. Your mess isn't too big. Like the shepherd who goes after the one, the Holy Spirit is pursuing you.
