Rejected, ashamed, or afraid we may have lost hope sometimes. Yet, there may have been moments that we were able to take courage, get up, and walk. We may have felt a presence nearby or a voice within. Being consoled, being found worthy is important to rebuild our life. Even in the midst of 'being lost' we might we may rise up to what we are made for. So then, our injuries now made well add a certain uniqueness in what we are. Every flesh – soil, plants, flowers, fish, birds and animals, has its glory in achieving their purpose. There is a divine spark, a voice crying out in the wilderness even in a small flower, every breath, and tears.
We have been lost by our attempts to create Wonderlands by self or by humans alone. The glory that has been destroyed can be rediscovered. That is a moment that we are found. We cannot find salvation without being found along with all other life forms. Reinventing the worth of each one is a celebration, a home coming. Then we may joyfully say the Lord is in our midst.
