Every soul is precious to God. When someone turns from sin and returns to Him, heaven itself rejoices. God’s love is not distant or conditional—it celebrates redemption and new beginnings.

Luke 15:10 says:
“In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

Jesus shared this truth through the parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son. Each story reveals the depth of God’s love and the joy that fills heaven when even one person is restored to fellowship with Him.

Nathan experienced this kind of joy when a friend he had been praying for finally came to faith. What began as quiet, persistent prayer ended in tears of gratitude and celebration. That moment reminded him that every act of love and prayer for others matters deeply to God.

Reflection:

  • Who in your life needs your prayers and encouragement to return to God?

  • How can you share God’s joy and grace with those who feel lost or unworthy?

  • Do you believe that heaven truly rejoices over every soul—including yours?

🙏 Prayer:
Father, thank You for rejoicing over every heart that turns to You. Give me compassion for those who are far from You and faith to keep praying for their return. Fill me with joy in Your mercy and help me reflect Your love to others. Amen.
