One who welcomes sinners –
There are so many lost sheep. Go after them, find them, lay them on Your shoulder, and rejoice.
Go after us, find us, lay us on Your shoulder, and carry us home.
There are so many lost coins. Light a lamp, sweep the house, search carefully, and find us.
Find us in our wildernesses. Find us in our homes. Find us – hold us – light our path – and carry us.
Amen.
