I recently read about a small-time social media influencer who hit it big when one of their videos went viral on Reddit. Unfortunately, it was short-lived; half a day later, most people had moved on. It was the internet equivalent of fifteen minutes of fame.
This made me think: “What on earth gets heaven’s attention?”
I found one answer in the Gospel according to Luke. In chapter 15, Jesus tells a group of self-righteous Pharisees about the type of people who “go viral” with God.
It’s the lost sheep worth finding.

He then mentions something, that, when it happens on earth, starts a party at the pearly gates.
In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.
Jesus- Luke 15:10 (NIV)
Kind reader, have you noticed that perspective is often most needed when it’s hardest to find? The religious leaders of Jesus’ day couldn’t accept the fact that he welcomed and ate with sinners. Yet they committed the bigger sin–rejecting Christ. Saint Augustine was right, “He who created us without our help will not save us without our consent.”
Thank you for reading. 🙏❤️ prayers and love.
For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
