“What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off?” — Matthew 18:12

In this message, we’re reminded of the relentless heart of God—the Shepherd who refuses to settle for ninety-nine when one is missing. Jesus’ parable isn’t about livestock—it’s about love, leadership, and the kind of stewardship that notices when something or someone has drifted away.

We live in a world that’s quick to replace and move on. But heaven doesn’t operate that way. God values the one. He values you. And He’s calling us to lead with that same love—to pursue, restore, and fight for what’s been lost.

🔥 In this episode:

• The Shepherd’s heart for the one that wandered
• How to lead with compassion instead of convenience
• What true spiritual stewardship looks like
• A call to pursue people with heaven’s love

💭 Reflection Question:
Who or what has drifted from your life that you’ve ignored or given up on—and how can you pursue it again with love and intention?

⚔️ Daily Challenge:
Reach out to someone who’s wandered—family, friend, or brother in Christ. Remind them they’re seen, loved, and not forgotten.

🙏 Prayer:
“Father, thank You for never giving up on me. Teach me to love like You do—to chase after the one with compassion and courage. Help me steward the people You’ve entrusted to me well.”
