Once upon a time in the beautiful city of South West Nigeria, there lived a young girl named Tolu. Tolu was a bright and curious girl who always had a strong desire to explore the world around her. One sunny afternoon, as Tolu's school day came to an end, she decided to disobey her parents' instruction to wait for them to pick her up.
Filled with excitement and a sense of adventure, Tolu embarked on the journey back home on foot. She thought she knew the way perfectly well, but little did she know that the path she chose would lead her astray. As she wandered deeper into unfamiliar streets, Tolu realized that she was lost.
Hours turned into darkness, and Tolu was filled with fear and despair. She had never felt so alone in her life. Her parents, on the other hand, were worried sick. They searched tirelessly for their beloved daughter, asking for help from friends and family, and even seeking guidance through prayers.
On the brink of hopelessness, Tolu found herself face to face with a kind-hearted police officer named Officer Ade. With compassion in his eyes, Officer Ade offered his assistance. He dialed Tolu's parents' number and informed them of her whereabouts. In that moment, a wave of relief washed over Tolu's parents, knowing that their lost child was found.
Just like Tolu, every soul is lost in the darkness of sin. We wander away from the path of righteousness, seeking fulfillment in worldly desires. But there is good news! Just as Tolu's parents never gave up searching for her, our Heavenly Father never gives up on us. In the Bible, Luke 19:10 says, 'For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.' Jesus Christ came into the world to save us from our sins and offer us eternal redemption.
