DAILY REFLECTION
14 April 2026
"In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."
Luke 15:10
Yesterday morning, after breakfast at the beautiful Pangkor Laut Resort, I found a quiet moment in the library to reflect and read. There, I met Daniel Geraldini, an Australian who, like me, was searching for something meaningful amid the uncertainties of our time.
Our conversation quickly deepened as we shared about life’s challenges and anxieties. I told him about my own journey—how my life was transformed when I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior, and the hope and peace I found in Him. As we spoke, I could sense something stirring in Daniel’s heart. By the end of our conversation, he made the decision to give his life to Jesus, stepping into a new chapter filled with hope and assurance.
The joy of soul winning is not about numbers or achievements, but about the eternal value of one transformed life. Just as heaven rejoices over one sinner who repents, we too share in that joy. It reminds us that every effort to reach the lost is precious and significant.
This encourages us to keep sharing the gospel, even when the results seem small or slow. Each life turned to God matters deeply, and no effort is ever wasted. It fuels us to continue praying, witnessing, and inviting others into His kingdom.
Luke 15:10 reminds us that soul winning is more than a task—it is a partnership with God’s heart. As we seek the lost with love and hope, we take part in the joy of heaven itself.
“Soul-winning is the chief business of the Christian minister; it should be the main pursuit of every true believer" —Charles H. Spurgeon.
