I hate losing stuff

We had a situation happen last night that reminded me of how much I personally hate the feeling I get when I lose something I need or value. I experience so many emotions at those moments. Anger, frustration, self-abasement through name calling. (how could I be so stupid etc,) Late last year I lost the only set of keys to one of our vehicles so I had to call triple A and have them break-in and make me a new set. It cost me $50.00 and the embarassment of having my car set for a few days while I search and research every known hiding place only to find them two days after I paid to have the new keys made. In as much as I was glad to now have the extra set it was a little bitter sweet.

Here is my meditational thought. Why is it I am not as stirred in my emotions over the so many who have never encountered Christ. I am sure God is stirred up about it! He loves the world and I think He hates losing them more than I hate losing the stuff I sometimes , by my actions seem to value more than people whom Christ died for. When was the last time you got angry, frustrated, or stirred up about lost people?
