Day 22 - Found By God
366 Days of Compassion and God's Promises in the Bible
And after much seeking we finally discover, all that we really needed was to be found.
But while he was still far off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe, and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand, and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let’s eat, and celebrate; for this, my son, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’ - Luke 15, WEBBE
Home. There is no place quite like it, and some of us are blessed to have it or at least to have it in our memory. To others however, it is a place that is yet to be found. And behind all our strivings, all our efforts and wanderings is a secret hope of one day being able to get there.
For where is that place where we might finally be at peace with those who love us? Where is that place where we can finally feel that we belong?
We seek it all our lives but what we do not know is that it has been waiting for us all along. We were the ones who have gone astray as we sought other things that pale in comparison to its warmth. We chased other dwellings wherein we might rest but we have found no rest.
God is our home, our true home.
In Him our hearts can rest and find its dwelling. In Him we know we are loved. We are not lost anymore, we are found.
