When we get our happiness from God, we want to share that happiness with others.
When we have the certainty that God loves us completely for who we are, we can be satisfied no matter what.
This parable will help us understand what it feels like to be lost and how God responds to that feeling by always trying to bring us home.
When we are insecure, it can be easy to feel like we are a “nobody going nowhere.”
With insecurity, God never responds with criticism. He responds with a purpose to live for something beyond themselves.
God’s dream is to free us from the things we feel imprisoned by. He wants us to feel comforted, confident, and happy.
