#leavesthe99

Have you heard of “Barry the Heroic Dog”? He was a mountain rescue dog for the St. Bernard Hospice that saved 41 lives in Switzerland and Italy, eventually losing his own life whilst trying to save a 42nd. What a sacrifice, right? • Well, here’s something even more awesome: Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, gave His life for *every single one* of us. He broke His body to make us whole, and shed His blood to cleanse us of sin and heal us. The ultimate sacrifice. Not only that, but our God, the Father Almighty, leaves the 99 to make sure the 1 lost is found and saved. How blessed we are to have such a wonderful Saviour! Hallelujah! - - - - - - - #godisgood #jesussaves #ourlordandsavior #saviour #leavesthe99 #goodshepherd #almightygod #barry #heroic #dog #stbernard #parable #lostsheep #hallelujah #amen (at Manchester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBkqCZNHHzH/?igshid=1sc8v4hoc8rs1

About a year ago I noticed that I seemed to look at the clock at 8:12 a.m. and 8:12 p.m. quite regularly.  August 12 is my birthday.  I thought how weird it was that I did it at least once (AM or PM) most days, and a few times a week, I would hit both. Once I thought, ‘why does this keep happening?’   I felt God speak to me, “When you see 8:12, know that I love you!” I’m so thankful for this small act of love for me.  It’s so cool how He chases me. He leaves the 99 and chases me.
