Isaiah 40:1-11; Psalm 96:1-3, 10-13;
Matthew 18:12-14

Home, home at last

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either – but right through every human heart. So, I suspect, does lostness and foundness. Our life is a process of being found in our fullness. The facets of ourselves that we are ashamed of are the self-same parts God desires to possess. The rest he already has. Step inside, Lord.
