Hide and go Seek

This blog is dedicated to Lost.. Yes, the TV show.

To fill some of our evenings here after Gateway classes we have started to run through series 1. Never having watched this I have to admit that I quite like it..

In this case it is not so much the content of the show that inspired me (even though their is enough there to write a full socio-analysis on), but just the title: LOST.

What does it mean to be lost? And then when is it that you are found?

Personally I have found myself lost for so many reasons. I currently feel lost being away from loved ones, missing them makes me feel unsure where I am. When I'm so busy that I can't find a second to spare, feel like I can't collect my thoughts, I feel lost. When again I screw up and remove myself from the presence of my Saviour, I am lost.

And thats just me. There are of course a millions reasons why someone or anyone will feel lost.

So often we are on our own desert island. Our plane has crashed by our own hand or by circumstances around us and we are just looking for survival.

But with LOST comes FOUND.

When I pray, I'm found.

When I hold a loved one in my arms, I'm found.

When I stand in worship, I'm found.

When I sit at peace and want for no one or nothing..

I

am

found..

But as easily as we get lost; as easily as I can get lost, being lost presents the opportunity of being found. And just like 'hide and seek' as a kid. When you've hidden so well that you think you will never be found, time passes and you just want the game to be over but don't want to give up.. being found is the most content feeling that exists.

I wish you all to be found, every day of your life. And don't forget to remind those around you that you haven't lost them out of sight either.
