"Now, if for any reason you individually or as a family have lost your way, then you need only apply the Savior’s teachings from Luke, chapter 15, to correct your course. Here the Savior tells of the effort of a shepherd searching for his lost sheep, of a woman searching for a lost coin, and of the welcome received by the prodigal son returning home. Why did Jesus teach these parables? He wanted us to know that none of us will ever be so lost that we cannot find our way again through His Atonement and His teachings.As you seek to live the gospel and doctrine of Christ, the Holy Ghost will guide you and your family. You will have a spiritual GPS to tell you always where you are and where you are going." M. Russell Ballard That The Lost May Be Found
I love the verse found in Ezekiel 34:16- "I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick:" and then the simple but profound verse in Matthew 18:11--"For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost."
My Savior loves me in my brokenness, in my lost wanderings, in my stumbling steps, all the while urging me forward, to come unto Him, to repent and forgive, and to become who He knows I can become. I am never lost to the Lord.
