Matthew 18:13 - And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine who never went astray.
Several things strike me here. God is always searching for the lost, which is all of us at one time or another. Yet, God is also always rejoicing over those found. In a continual cycle of rejoicing, searching, rejoicing. God loves us so much that She is always searching for us - for we are all lost in some way. Searching, challenging, comforting, pushing, loving, feeding, guiding, and rejoicing in us and with us.
In this time, joy has become a necessity rather than a sometime event. We need to find joy to give us the energy to fight and resist.
