In working this principle we come to understand that God wants to fill our lives with his love joy and presence. One of the much loved parables of Jesus is found in Luke 15. The story of the lost son. On the surface the account is about a fathers love for his drifting son but it's deeper message is of the unconditional love of God the father for us. God's love is looking for us, no matter how lost we may feel. And God's searching love can find us no matter how many times we may have fallen into sin. God's hands of mercy are reaching out to pick us up and to love and forgive us.
