The Love That Comes Looking

I am a Father who looks for his lost children. Whatever names people may give you, my desire to find and save you does not grow weaker. I will not let someone else's judgment have the final word in your story.

People murmured when Jesus stayed with Zacchaeus, but the joy of salvation entered that house. A place opened for him to put wrongs right and begin living differently. Other people's disapproval did not close that door.

You, too, have this day to live within my love. Do not shut yourself inside your past; open your heart to me. As someone who has received mercy, welcome the opportunity for others to make a new beginning as well.
