If Merlot could talk, what a story he could tell! Merlot is the name of a pretty, fluffy cat. He disappeared June 21, 2008, when he was eleven months old. His owners said, “We thought for sure that he must have gotten killed by a wild animal, because he was really small.”
Many months later and about one hundred miles away, the cat was picked up and taken to an animal rescue hospital. They were able to trace his owners by a microchip in the cat’s neck. The microchip gave the name, address and phone number of the owner.
Sixteen months after the cat disappeared, on November 8, 2009, the owners received a call from the rescue people about the missing cat. The lady who answered said she had almost forgotten about the cat, but when Merlot was described to her, she knew it was their lost pet.
Do you know who will never forget about you, even if you are still lost from Him? If you are still in your sins, you are lost from God, but He is not willing to give up finding you. Luke 19:1010For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. (Luke 19:10) says, “The Son of Man [the Lord Jesus] is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” He loves you so much He died for you. Will you let Him find you and save you from your sins?
Merlot came back just as friendly as he was before he left his home. It seemed that kind people had cared for him, and he looked clean and healthy. The family was overjoyed to have their loving pet back home.
And when you come to the Lord Jesus to have your sins washed away, the Bible tells us that there will be much joy and happiness. “Joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth” (Luke 15:77I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. (Luke 15:7)).
