God doesn't wait for the lost sheep to find its way home. "I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken." (Ezekiel 34:16) If you feel far away, He's already looking for you.

Good facial plastic surgery isn't about erasing what you don't like. It's about bringing out what you do. Even when we soften a nasal bump, the goal is to let your eyes and smile take center stage. Your face should still look like you, with the best parts easier to see.

Ever like your face in the mirror but not in photos? The mirror shows you flipped, and that's the version you've seen your whole life. Everyone else sees the other one. Before you decide something needs fixing, give the unflipped you a fair look.

Why does God keep waiting for us to come back? "That they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin." (Jeremiah 36:3) We are His work and His glory. He doesn't just tolerate us coming home. He's rooting for us to mend.
