Though we may feel
utterly lost, we have not been abandoned. No matter how far the town of our
life seems to have fallen off the map, God seeks to renew us. God has for us a
better place. This exile does not have the last word. God desires to bring us,
to bring the whole world, home to a joy and a glory we have scarcely imagined.
To those in captivity, who feel lost and "unhomed," the word comes
from God, "I am looking for you. I am seeking you. I know how to get you
back home."
