He devises ways so that a banished person does not remain banished from him
This is such a golden nugget! Here we have a story of rape, disgrace, murder, and estrangement (all within the family, just like any modern day TV soap series!). Its messy all over, with side orders of mess and mess sauce on top. But within it is a fundamental truth about God: that God does not desire such everlasting strife, but will rather find some way to bring someone back.
Lost coin, lost sheep, lost son - its right here in the Old Testament. Two Samuel, chapter fourteen, verse fourteen.
Awesome.
