Matthew 18:12-14
It doesn't seem logical that when a shepherd has 100 sheep and one gets lost, he will leave 99 to look for the missing one.
Many will ask why he is wasting his time, that he should be thankful for the 99 that he still has. However, through out scripture we see over and over again that worldly logic cannot comprehend what God's love does.
Did you ever wonder why the only place you find verses describing John as the disciple that Jesus loved is in the book of John (John 13:23; 19:26; 20:2; 21:7 & 20). John's experience of Christ's love was so immense that it caused him to want to write about it often. God loves each of us the same but we all experience it in different ways based on our understanding of Him.
God is willing to leave the 99, the majority, in order to go after that one who is lost. His love for us as individuals far surpasses what we can understand. He will do everything in His power to reach each one of us.
That is how valuable you are to Him, so don't ever doubt God's love or think you have no work. According to God you are worth more than 99.
