They are not meant to be Lost

"Similarly, it is never the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should be lost."
 Mt.18:14

Children are very close to the Father's heart. Do I want to be in the center of God's will? Seek out and bring back his children.

A good friend has the heartache of having to help raise grandchildren because of son's marriage breakup. His son and three grandchildren live with him. Sadly, the son has turned his back on his Catholic upbringing and is refusing to let the children be baptised or given any sacraments of initiation.

I'm advising my friend, "Your castle, your rules bro." He has a wonderful window of opportunity to influence their little souls before they leave from under his roof. He can start simple but consistent faith routines in his home. Grace before every meal, in his home or in McDonalds. Prayer time after dinner every night. Christian music playing when they get up in the morning. A short prayer of blessing over them before they go off to school.

He can fight for them. They are not meant to be lost.

Jesus, help me be an agent that finds lost sheep and brings them home.
