We all in Cleveland are amazed at the news last night that Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michele Knight were found after 10 years of being missing. What a joy for the family members that these women (children at the time) that once were lost are now found. They were drawn out of a literal slavery and are restored to their right familial relationships.
I am reminded by the fact that each of us were slaves to sin and our Heavenly Father desperately seeks to rescue us from this slavery and restore us to a rightful family relationship with Him. He doesn't give up searching and desiring for us to come home to Him. God is both our Father and our rescuer by providing the means to come to our rescue through His Son Jesus Christ. Imagine if these women had the rescuer present but did not call out for help. They would still be in slavery. We can cry out and ask for this rescue in the name of Christ and God has indeed promised He will rescue us. And it will be a joyful reunion when we come home.
