the lost coin<\/strong> reveals something powerful about God\u2019s perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The coin did not know it was lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The coin could not search for itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet the owner searched diligently because of its value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Likewise, God pursues people because of His love\u2014not because of their performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He sees value where others see failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He sees possibility where others see brokenness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And He rejoices when what was lost is found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the question becomes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Do we view people according to their current condition\u2014or according to the value God places upon them?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-suggested-reading\"
