Lost but Now Found

When I visited Ecuador's Amazon region with my father many years ago, we took a fun speed boat ride to a small village to take in the sights and learn about the local tribes. My dear dad bought me handmade jewelry, including a set of earrings. I only wore those earrings on special occasions, including when I went to visit my sister for my birthday. When I came back from my trip, I was horrified to discover I'd lost one of my earrings. I looked everywhere. It was just an earring, but I'd have to travel all the way back to the Amazon jungle to replace it. Amazingly, when my sister returned to the restaurant we had visited for my birthday, she spotted my missing earring in their lost and found. I was overjoyed! Jesus told a parable about a woman who'd lost her silver coin. She wouldn't rest while her valuable coin was missing. "Doesn't she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it?" Jesus asked (Luke 15:8). And when she found her coin, she greatly rejoiced (v. 9). Jesus told this story to demonstrate how precious we are to God. He "came to seek and to save" those who are lost (19:10). Although we were once lost, heaven rejoiced when we were found.
