THE LOVE OF A HEAVENLY FATHER

April 23

Here is one of the most famous parables of Jesus in Luke 15.  We see the story that is commonly called the prodigal son, but is really the story of the loving father.  We see this young man asking for his inheritance before the father is dead and then living for the world with all of his might.  Finally, he is at the bottom having spent all his money and having to eat pig food.  He decides to go home to his father and beg for forgiveness, but finds that the father has been waiting on and looking for him every day, hoping he would come back. This is the story of all of us that have wayward kids, we hope and pray that one day they will come back so we can show them how much we love them.  But this story is more than that, it is the love of a Heavenly Father who every day is looking for those who are living for the world to finally look up and want that forgiveness and salvation that can only be given when one realizes that the love of the Father is better than anything this world has to offer.  Do you know that love?  Have you come to the one who loves you and will forgive you and receive you as His own no matter what you have done?  Come, turn from your sins and ask Him to forgive you today, He will do it as the Bible tells us over and over again. Don’t wait, do it now.

“So he got up and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion for him, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. (Luke 15:20)
