He has anointed me... He has sent me... (Lk 4: 18)We often think that we're the ones chasing God. However salvation history clearly proves the opposite: God is constantly in search of man (this is the basic idea of the Jewish theologian and Philosopher, Abraham Joshua Heschel). He choose Israel before everything. He first loved us. He first called us children, even before we took note of Him. He always takes the initiative. All that we are to do is emulate Him, just like His dearest Son, Jesus did... go in search of our fellow creatures.
