Let me live again so I can praise you! 

Let your rules help me

I've wandered off like a sheep, 

lost.

Find your servant because I haven't forgotten your commandments!

Psalms 119:175-176 CEB

We made it to the end of Psalm 119, and after this epic, massive, long song, the psalmist leaves us with this most human of situations:

He's working hard to hold on to God's word and to live it out.

And he's got lost. 

And he cries out to be found.

To be found by God Himself, becuase he knows that our God is Life and he wants to live again.

He wants to be found. 

Easter is that time of year when we get to reflect on what it took for us to be found, what it took for Jesus to enter the Story because we needed Him, needed Grace, needed to be found.

Amd there's days when we need to be found again, when we can use the psalmists words that we find hard to say:

Let me live again.

I've wandered off. 

Lost.

Find me again.

Easter, for all the violence and tragedy and destruction that it includes, it also holds our Hope.

Hope of living again.

That we are found.

That we do belong.

That we are Beloved.
