Gilad Shalit is an Israeli soldier of the Israel Defense Forces who was abducted inside Israel by Hamas militants in a cross-border raid via underground tunnels near the Israeli border with Gaza on 25 June 2006…

Today is a special day for the country of Israel as Gilad is being released by Hamas. What stirs in my heart is that Israel is trading 1027 Terrorist for 1 of their soldiers.

What is brought to my heart is:
Luke 5:14 “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?

Israel never gave up on having Gilad return… We are a part of the rejoicing that Luke 15:6 talks about…
“And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!”
