Luke 15:8-10
New International Version (NIV)
The Parable of the Lost Coin
8 “Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins[a] and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’10 In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
The parable shed the worth of the coin that has a special place in the woman’s
heart. It’s not the worth of the coin as a currency but the worth of the coin
as a belonging or a family to the woman. As if it was her eyes that will made
her blind for the rest of her existence if she will not find it as soon as
possible. The tremendous effort of the women to find the lost coin was rewarded
with joy and compassion when the coin was found. It is the same predicament
that I will experience if I lost my pen. I am a writer deep within my heart and
soul. If I lost my pen that currently symbolizes
my wit, passion for writing, inspiration and competitiveness; I think I will be
stuck in a trap whole that’s full of emptiness and sarcasm. Of course I will do
my best just to find my pen, because that pen dictates my future and my life.
Without it I’ll be a soldier without a gun, a musician without its music, a
sinner without a sin, and a King without its kingdom. I will explore every place
that my pen brings me every time I write and imagine. Despite the hardships
that I am willing to give just to find my pen, I will find other pens along the
way but I won’t accept it because the pen that I was looking for has a special
part in my life, that pen encrypted substantial efforts and legacy along my
journey. I posses the values and experience that I had gone through so finding
it would reward me the essence of joy and fulfillment. As if I find a lost
family member or I’m Captain Hook who misses Peter Pan after a long time he
stops bothering me. As if I’m Squidward who feels awful without SpongeBob
Squirming around and shouting I’m READY
every day.
The
Parable of the Lost Coin, Lost Sheep and the Lost Son all commemorate the
ingredients of God’s loving Mercy and salvation for his people. Lost
individuals will be lost but along the God will serve as a light that will
guide them through their way home. They will be happy because they were able to
come back safe and sound but the highest level of happiness can be found on God’s
heart. He had lost some descendant but he is so proud getting them back. These
descendants had been crafted will spiritual virtues, experiences and emotions
along their way, they are the ones that feel awkward or misunderstood at times
but with the journey they had been through. God is happy because he knows that
even though his sheep’s might be lost again, He will be confident that they
will find their way again cause they believe in a vision and they have the same
heart bit.
In
conclusion, we are sinners but God will always help us repent our sins. We
might be lost but God will make a way specially made for us.
