Good Morning! The story of the Prodigal Son describes us all, as children of God.
We are all unfaithful children of our benevolent heavenly Father. We all
have squandered the abundant inheritance He so graciously has
bequeathed to us. And we all, at one time or another, have known what it
is to finally "come to ourselves ". Sin is insanity,...it's an
unreasoning, illogical, and self-destructive way of life. It ignores the
plain hand of our heavenly Father, full of every
provision we need, and follows after the hallucination of worldly
pleasures and fulfillment.
" When he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death!—Luke 15:17 (NIV)
But when we finally come to ourselves, we realize that starving out in the pigpen is not what our Father planned for us. We are the King's children! No one in His house is hungry or wanting, and yet here we are in the mud pit of sin because we forsook the house of our Father. When we finally come to ourselves, we finally come back to Him. We forsake the miserable quest for self-gratification and begin to seek the abundant life that is found in God alone.
Just know that there is always a warm welcome for those who come to God,...by way of His Son Jesus Christ.

Father God we Thank You, for not turning Your back on us,...even after we've turned our backs on You. In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
