Ah, the perils of coding (In my case --- Matlab)....
Every coder worth his salt would have gone through the inundating task of sifting through lines and lines of seemingly identical codes to find that one. particular. irritating. line of code causing the anomaly in his programme.
Talk about a huge waste of time!
I recently spent 4 hours searching through my Matlab codes because my results didn't seem to tally...only to find after checking and re-checking everything that the mistake stemmed from a error in the formula provided by the original theorist whose work I'm using.
(And you'd expect published papers to be more accurate...)
Anyway, the process kinda wore me out a bit... My stomach is growling, my eyes are weary and my shoulders are aching from the weird keyboard position. Yet, this entire process reminds me of the parable of the lost coin and how the said woman rummaged through her entire house in search of that one missing coin. Also, just like me, she couldn't contain her enormous joy and commensurately large mouth and went around telling everyone about it.
For most people, this parable speaks of our importance to Him and how He wants to find us at all costs. However, the recent incident that I just shared revealed to me something else... that once we are found, it is a cause for rejoicing of the greatest extent and everyone in heaven ain't gonna shut their mouth about it. Guess it's the same when one repents and goes back to Him.
It such a pleasure to know that I am so treasured.
"In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven't strayed away!" - Luke 15:7
