Is 30:15
"By waiting and by calm you shall be saved, in quiet and in trust your strength lies. But this you did not wish."
Luke 13:6-9
"What was the reason for this bad harvest, when everything had been done to ensure that it would be a good one? St. Ambrose has written that the cause of spiritual sterility can frequently be traced to pride and hardness of heart.
In spite of the disappointments God returns with renewed generosity time and time again to look for results. This is the patience of God towards souls. He does not become discouraged...He knows how to wait. He sees our faults and failings but he also sees our capacity for doing good. The Lord never gives up on any soul."
--from In Conversation With God, vol. 5 p. 309

"If you wander away, He will always search for you and will gladly welcome you back. Luke 15:3-7
"This is what the Lord God says: 'I, myself, will search for my sheep and take care of them' Ezekiel 34:11"
"He's waiting for you. God is standing on the porch of heaven, expectantly hoping, searching the horizon for a glimpse of His child. You're the one God is seeking.
God is the waiting Father, the caring Shepherd in search of His lamb. His legs are scratched, His feet are sore, and His eyes are burning. He scales the cliffs and traverses the fields. He explores the caves. He cups His hands to His mouth and calls into the canyon.
And the name He calls is yours...
The message is simple: God gave up His Son in order to rescue all His sons and daughters. To bring His children home. He's listening for your answer."
This is an excerpt from the Max Lucado book-And the Angels Were Silent.
