LOST
A few days ago I found myself sitting outside enjoying a beautiful Fresno evening reading a book titled LOST. It's a book about evangelism. I didn't really get to far into the book. I kept thinking about the word LOST.
LOST - in Christianeze it is a term assinged to a person who does not know God and who has not "given" his or her life to the LORD - a person without God. On a more secular level, LOST - not knowing where you are. Not knowing where to go or how to get there. Not in a familiar or safe place and unable to determine how to reach a safe or familiar place.
Everyone feels lost from time to time. Yes, even us high and mighty Christians feel lost. We get disoriented. We loose direction and in those times we often struggle to hear God's voice. As I pondered this it occurred to me that Christians can feel lost but they can never truly be lost no matter how disoriented we get. You see to be LOST we have to be devoid of a safe place. Jesus said that He would never leave us or forsake us. As long as at least one person in the group knows where they are or where they are going, then the group is not lost. So If you are a Christian and you feel lost. Stop. Stop and quiet yourself and wait until God whispers or yells the sweet beautiful words that will clear the fog and bring the understanding that will guide you to the next place.
