Storyteller

Our oldest grandson,

"You will be able to tell wonderful stories to your children and grandchildren about the marvelous things I am doing." (Exodus 10:2 NLT)

One of my oldest grandson's creative stories:

One day, I ate ice cream, and I turned into a wizard and I could do anything. One day, I missed being ordinary so I ate that same kind of ice cream, and I turned back into a normal human. I never ate that kind of ice cream ever again!

Jesus was a storyteller. To clarify truth, He painted marvelous word pictures on parable canvases.

One of my Savior's lovely stories:

"If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won't he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders. When he arrives, he will call together his friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep!' In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine who are righteous and haven't strayed away!" (Luke 15:3-7)

Beloved, have you wandered away from God? Jesus, the Great Shepherd, is earnestly looking for you!
