Thank You sweet Jesus for coming to our rescue. For seeking us out when we are lost. For bringing us back home where we belong with You.
Thank You heavenly Father for Your great love for us. When we turn back to You; in Your loving mercy You wipe us clean leaving no trace of our transgressions, our heinous sins.
Thank You Holy Spirit for teaching us and guiding us on the eternal Word of God. Thank You for steering us away from sin. Thank You for filling us with the grace needed to walk the narrow path in the light of our Saviour. For enabling us to share our faith with others.
All glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be world without end. Amen

Matthew 18:12–14
Jesus said to his disciples:
“What is your opinion?
If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety–nine in the hills and go in search of the stray? And if he finds it, amen, I say to you, he rejoices more over it than over the ninety–nine that did not stray. In just the same way, it is not the will of your heavenly Father that one of these little ones be lost.”
