I was thinking of Issac when I had this epiphany.
Perhaps we should gather to us those who are lost rather than sending them away as punishment for their misdeeds.
Thinking of them as a sheep or a coin makes it easier to accept their foibles and take it upon ourselves to gather them in. Even where they were prodigals who choose where they want to be we should be ready to run and meet them as soon as they return close enough for us to see them again.
