God came to earth in order to search for the lost coin (Luke 15:8-9);  to rekindle the smoldering wick (Matthew 12:20); to bind up and heal the sick and the suffering.

God mingles with crowds in the streets; He has dinner with tax collectors and talks to prostitutes (Matthew 9:11);  He searches the dwellings of the poor in order to find those

who are looking for Him,

who are waiting for Him,

and who need and desire Him.
