Testimony
Yesterday after the blessing ministry and the women's brunch, I had to pick up a parcel from a shop. While I was in there, over the music playing, I could hear this voice — really loud, frantic — a woman calling her little daughter's name. I went over and asked what happened. She said, "I've lost my daughter, she's two and a half, she was right there and she's gone." She described the little trousers with strawberries on, and we both started searching the store. It turned out the little one was hiding in the changing rooms. When the mum scooped her up, the relief on her face — and then moments later, just tears upon tears. She had no words. I gave her a hug, prayed a blessing and protection over her family, and gave her one of the cards we'd been handing out.
The Lord was really highlighting to me the parable in Luke 15 — the woman who lost the coin and swept the whole house until she found it. That mother didn't care about her shopping, she didn't care about anything except this little girl. And that's how the Father's heart is for the lost. He will sweep, He will chase after, to find His own. I pray each of us, in whatever small way we can, would enter into what God has for us — to seek the lost.

It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
— Lamentations 3:22–23 (KJV)
