The Precious Worth of Every Soul
A man walking along a beach was overwhelmed by the sight of hundreds of stranded starfish.
More surprised by the sight of a young woman tossing the starfish back into the water one by one, he asked, "Why do you bother when you can't save them all? What difference does a few make?"
Holding out the starfish in her hand she replied, "It makes a difference to this one."
βAnd He spoke this parable unto them, saying, what man having a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not go after that which is lost, and layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing and calleth together his neighbours, saying rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep.β Luke 15:4-6.
