Some
people believe calling someone spiritually lost is a put-down. But it’s not. It’s
actually a great compliment to be called spiritually lost. There’s a difference
between losing something and misplacing something. If I misplace something, it
means it wasn’t important to me. But if I lose it, it’s valuable enough for me
to try to find it. You misplace a bobby pin; you lose your glasses.
People
are only lost if they’re worth finding. Think of it this way: The value of a
masterpiece doesn’t go down when it’s lost; it goes up.
Human
beings lose a lot when they aren’t connected to God. We lose our direction,
God’s protection, our potential, our happiness, and our future home in Heaven —
just to name a few. But there’s one thing we don’t lose: our value.
God
loved you enough to send his very best — Jesus.
You
matter so much to God that he underwent a rescue mission to come get you. He
came to Earth as a little baby so that one day he could die on a wooden cross
for your sin.
-Rick
Warren
