What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? (Matthew 18:12 NIV)You my friend, are the one. The one God loves. The one God pursues. The one whose heart God desires.When we hit rough patches, our tendency is to pull away from God instead of drawing closer to Him. The same is true when life is going well - we get comfortable and spend less time nurturing our relationship with our Heavenly Father.Through the experiences of Moses, David, Gideon, and others, Natasha takes us on a journey of exploring God's pursuit of their hearts and ours, even in unlikely circumstances.
