Pursuing Straying People

Straying people struggle to believe they're wanted. Deep conviction feels like wearing a heavy coat of shame. People in that condition need to know there are wide open, welcoming arms longing to embrace them--literally, not just figuratively. Pursuing them means letting them know how much you want their friendship.

--William P. Smith, Loving Well (Even If You Haven't Been) (Greensboro, NC: New Growth, 2012), 110.
