"This was to fulfill what he had said, 'I have not lost any of those you gave me.'” - John 18:9 

Have you found yourself in a situation where you are just lost? 

You made a wrong turn and you end up on a strange road. You made a decision and it ends up  being a disastrous choice. You tell a "white lie" and you end up in an uncomfortable predicament. 

Sometimes things just don't go right and we feel like a fish (or a turtle) out of water. Fortunately, we have faith in a God who sets us back on the right path and places us again in our "comfort zone." 

But sometimes things just don't go right and end up being a blessing in disguise. 

You made a wrong turn and you end up on a road where you run into a very dear friend that you haven't seen in years. You made a decision and you end up finding the best job ever where you meet the love of your life. You tell a "white lie" and you end up receiving God's mercy in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. 

Whether you are lost and found, or lost and blessed, God is always there and you will never be truly lost. 

Thank you, God, for never allowing me to be lost for I am forever in the arms of Jesus. Amen.

"He said to them, 'But who do you say that I am?'" - Matthew 16:15 

Jesus, I believe that you are the Christ, 
The son of the living God, 
Fully God and fully man. 
Sent to be my Redeemer and my best friend, 
To wash away my sins, 
To live in and know the deepest places of my heart, 
And to make me worthy of a life with You everlasting.

So, who do you say that He is?
