Luke 15:8-10   ““Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it? And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost.’ Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.””

 RSV

It is a great comfort to know that God is searching for sinners, calling them to repentance.  We can also rejoice with the angels over one sinner who repents.  We rejoice, too, remembering when that one sinner was us. 

If you haven’t responded to God in repentance, why not?
