You know that feeling: when you discover you have are no longer connected with your credit card (or keys or phone.)
Even if we don’t panic…we prioritize. Suddenly, everything else can wait.
Because a lost credit card can be the source of a lot of damage and create a mess to clean up.
We retrace our steps, mentally and physically, to find the exact place we lost it. And when that doesn’t work, we enlist the help of others to help us see what we must be overlooking. And when that doesn't work, we seek professional help.
So why don’t we apply the same sense of urgency when we have lost connection with our sense of soul?
Because a lost soul can cause a lot of damage and pain.
What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self? Luke 9:25
