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.
How to go from apathetic to inspired.
When we are insecure, it can be easy to feel like we are a “nobody going nowhere.”

There are many things that aim to undermine our faith: our guilt, different diagnoses, depression, anxiety, fear, and various circumstances. God wants to build our faith and confidence to be so strong it can handle anything thrown our way.
Conquer is a word descriptive of but rarely used to define Jesus. It means “to defeat an enemy, or take control or possession of a foreign land.” In this sense, Jesus comes as the light to conquer a world filled with darkness.
