MATTHEW 18:12-14
What do you think? If a shepherd has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. So it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should be lost.
---- mine,
Every person who ever lived, lived, and will live is cared for as tenderly by God as that one sheep who strayed from the fold. Not a single soul entrusted to Me by My Father will be lost for they are given to Me by Him. You belong to the Father and all that belongs to the Father belongs to His Son. This is why I say you are Mine and I will keep you with Me, I will watch over you and care for you. I will seek you when you are lost, I will look for you until I find you and carry you back to My Father's house. And not just you, ---- my own, but also those for whom you pray with sighs and tears, and with a broken heart. You cannot desire their salvation more than My Father does, He sent Me into the world to redeem the world not condemn it. Have faith! Pray without ceasing, but pray with this confidence that in the end, they will come to the knowledge of Truth and be saved.
