That is good news Charles, rejoicing with you bro! Just to add to all the loving encouragement you received already.
Mat 13:44 "The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
Mat 13:45 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls,
Mat 13:46 and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.
Mat 13:47 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet cast into the sea, and gathering fish of every kind;
Mat 13:48 and when it was filled, they drew it up on the beach; and they sat down and gathered the good fish into containers, but the bad they threw away.
Luk 15:2 And the Pharisees and scribes were complaining, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them!"
Luk 15:3 So He told them this parable:
Luk 15:4 "What man among you, who has 100 sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the 99 in the open field and go after the lost one until he finds it?
Luk 15:5 When he has found it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,
Luk 15:6 and coming home, he calls his friends and neighbors together, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, because I have found my lost sheep!'
Luk 15:7 I tell you, in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over 99 righteous people who don't need repentance.
Luk 15:8 "Or what woman who has 10 silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?
Luk 15:9 When she finds it, she calls her women friends and neighbors together, saying, 'Rejoice with me, because I have found the silver coin I lost!'
Luk 15:10 I tell you, in the same way, there is joy in the presence of God's angels over one sinner who repents."
Peace, G.Driggs
