[:en]Thoughts from “Our Daily Bread” (4/20/17)[:]

[:en]The father of the prodigal son was waiting for his son to return.  When he saw him, he ran to his son, embraced and kissed him.  The son did not deserve to be welcomed back because he had taken his share of inheritance and caused sorrow and heartache to his father.  But despite of what the son had done, his father still received him with joy.

The father of this parable reminds us of our Heavenly Father who is so loving and merciful.  Because of His amazing grace, he forgives us and is waiting to accept us with open arms.  Are you coming back to HIM?[:]
