That woman sought until she found it! and this lesson comes home to us to-day, as we travel along life's pathway.
Perhaps we know someone who has wandered away into wrong-doing! That is like the coin that was lost!
We look sorrowfully round, and wonder if there is anything we can do?
And at last we take the candle and the broom, and begin to seek.
What do "the candle and the broom" mean to us?
The candle seems to me to be the Light of God's loving promises to help.
And the broom seems to me to link us with those words, "Pray without ceasing!"
God says: "Do not stop praying till you find the one that was lost is brought back to God!"
And then our dear Lord's words come back to us again: "I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth."
