His Perfect Love


And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
I say unto you, that likewise a joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
Luke 15 6-7
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to attend an Alchoholics Anonomous meeting for a school assignment. Very humbling. I sat and listened as people told their stories, experiences and struggles. These people had not made good choices, by their own admission. Lost homes, families, jobs and health. But, I felt that they had a true desire to support one another. That they would be there to help one another. Even though they had failed dozens and dozens of times, they would always welcome each other back. There were where they were supposed to be last night. One day at a time was the theme.
And it made me think of our Savior, Jesus Christ. After all we have done, he still has faith in us that we can make things right. Even after we have made the same mistake over and over..., our family and friends might not even believe in us, He still does. Because He loves us with a perfect love that we could never be worthy of, but can fully enjoy if we let him in.
