I'm sharing another quote from Why Christ Came at Out of the Ordinary:
"Many of God's people can remember what it was like to be without Christ, without hope, and without God in this world (Eph. 2:12)… Jesus came to seek these lost persons and save them. God in Christ is a seeker (Luke 15:3-6). Nineteenth-century British poet Francis Thompson affectionately refers to God as the "hound of heaven" in a poem by that name. The author recounts how he deliberately fled from God, but throughout his life he sensed he was being followed by feet that moved "with un-hurrying chase and unperturbed pace" to bring him to salvation. Without fail, God always gets His man."
