Lost but Found by the Father – Journey with God
Path to Salvation: A Journey with God from Blur Vision to Vision Restoration
There comes a moment in every life when the noise quiets down, the distractions lose their grip, and the soul begins to ask: Why am I here? Where am I going? What is the meaning of it all? This moment is not by accident—it is a divine invitation, a knock on the door of the heart from the Father calling His child home.
This is the Path to Salvation—the beautiful, painful, necessary journey back to God. It’s a journey that moves us from blurred vision to vision restoration, from wandering in darkness to walking in the light. It’s the story of the prodigal son, the story of humanity, and the story of you and me.
The Blur Vision — Life Without God
Many of us live with blurred spiritual vision, often without even realizing it. Life is full of pursuits—success, money, relationships, status—and in chasing them, our vision gets clouded. The truth becomes hard to see, and the voice of God feels distant.
We become like the prodigal son in Luke 15. In his mind, freedom meant leaving his father’s house, spending his inheritance, and living life on his own terms. But that so-called freedom only led him to emptiness, hunger, and regret. His vision was blurred by selfish desires, and he couldn’t see the beauty of being in his father’s house, under the covering of love, provision, and purpose.
Blurred vision makes sin look attractive and obedience to God look restrictive. It blinds us to the eternal and traps us in the temporary. It convinces us that God’s boundaries are chains, not the guardrails of love.
Realizing You Are Lost
The prodigal son didn’t know he was lost until everything fell apart. The money ran out, the friends disappeared, and the hunger set in. Sometimes, God allows us to come to the end of ourselves so we can discover the beginning of Him.
When your life feels like a blurry mess—when nothing satisfies, when your soul aches for something more—that’s the Holy Spirit tugging at your heart. It’s the Father whispering: “Come home, my child.”
Realizing you are lost is not condemnation—it’s revelation. It’s the first ray of light piercing through the fog. It’s the crack in the door where grace begins to pour in.
The Path to Salvation — Surrender
Salvation begins at the altar of surrender. The prodigal son said to himself, “I will arise and go to my father.” (Luke 15:18) That decision to get up and return home changed everything.
Surrender is not easy because it requires letting go—letting go of pride, of control, of the desire to be your own savior. It’s admitting that without God, you are lost. But surrender is the doorway to salvation because when you let go, God steps in.
Jesus stands at the door and knocks (Revelation 3:20). He doesn’t force His way in; He waits for you to open. Salvation is not earned by being perfect; it is received by saying, “Lord, I need You. Save me.”
Grace in the Father’s Embrace
When the prodigal son returned, the father didn’t stand with folded arms, demanding explanations. No—he ran to his son, embraced him, and welcomed him home with celebration.
This is the heart of God. No matter how far you’ve wandered, the Father’s arms are open. His grace is greater than your sin, and His mercy rewrites your story.
You might think you need to clean yourself up first—fix your habits, break your addictions, change your behavior—but the truth is, you come as you are. The Father’s embrace is what changes you. His love washes away the guilt and shame. His Spirit empowers you to live differently.
Salvation is not about working your way back to God; it’s about accepting that Jesus made the way through the cross. His blood paid the price. His resurrection broke the curse. Your part is to receive the gift—by faith.
Vision Restoration — Seeing Life Through God’s Eyes
When you surrender to Jesus and are born again, something miraculous happens—your spiritual vision is restored. You begin to see life through God’s eyes.
What once looked desirable—sin, pride, selfishness—now looks empty. What once seemed boring—prayer, worship, obedience—now feels life-giving.
You see yourself differently too. You are not your past, not your mistakes, not your failures. You are a beloved child of God, covered in the righteousness of Christ. You are no longer lost; you are found.
The Holy Spirit becomes your guide, teaching you how to walk in step with God. You begin to crave His presence, hunger for His Word, and long for deeper intimacy with Him. The blurred vision clears, and the beauty of the Father’s house becomes crystal clear.
From Lost to Found — The Testimony We All Share
Every believer shares this testimony in some form: I was lost, but now I’m found. I was blind, but now I see. This is not just a story for the prodigal son—it’s the story of humanity, the story of grace, and the story of the cross.
Jesus didn’t come to condemn the world but to save it (John 3:17). He came to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10). His love pursues us even when we are running the other way. His mercy catches us even when we fall.
You might feel unworthy, but the cross proves your worth to God. You might feel broken, but He delights in healing broken things. You might feel too far gone, but the arm of the Lord is not too short to save (Isaiah 59:1).
A Call to Surrender Today
Where are you right now in your journey with God? Are you still wandering, still lost in the fog of sin and self? Or have you reached that moment of realizing you need the Father?
The path to salvation is open before you today. Jesus is calling you to come home. The Father is ready to embrace you, restore you, and give you new vision.
Don’t wait until life falls apart completely. Don’t wait until you hit rock bottom. Today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). Right where you are, you can pray:
“Lord Jesus, I surrender. I am lost without You. I believe You died for me and rose again. Forgive my sins, restore my vision, and lead me on this journey with You. I come home today, into the arms of my Father. Amen.”
A Final Word — Lost but Found
The story of the prodigal son ends with joy. The father declares: “For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.” (Luke 15:24)
This can be your story too. No matter where you’ve been or what you’ve done, the Father is waiting. You are not too far gone. You are not forgotten. In the eyes of heaven, you are worth running toward.
Come home. Be found. Experience salvation.
Lost but Found — the greatest story ever told.
