Blessing
Faith, hope, joy, peace, provision, communion, wisdom, revelation, grace, mercy, and the eternal Love of God be ever increasing upon you. All of you.
You cannot be lost if you don't belong. If you belong to no one then you cannot be lost. You cannot walk into a store and claim an item was lost unless the item was yours to begin with. The word "lost" itself contains a promise. A lost coin never loses its value. When a question of taxes came to Jesus, He used the opportunity to speak of ownership and value. He asks whose image and likeness is on it. You're made in the image and likeness of God, and its to Him you belong and in Him your value is eternal. How long does a thief need to be in possession of a stolen item before it becomes his? The devil is a thief, and you don't belong to a thief. Jesus came to seek and save the lost. You belong to God.
