I care about the one. I leave the 99 to go after the one. The one who is lost, the one who is rejected, the one who is full of fear. I am here, my child. Yes, you, the lonely one. I see you. I have come for you.
I became a child upon the earth, vulnerable and naked so that you could know me. I grew and died for you so that my Spirit could come to you. I have never left you or forsaken you. Even though you have tried to hide, I sought you out. I love you; I seek you. My precious one, let me in. Let my light, my love, fill you where you feel empty, dead or in the dark, for I am the light of the world that gives light to every man; in me, there is no darkness. Let my light illuminate your heart so that you know you belong to my family and me.
Luke 15:3-4 NIV
