QT, Luke 15 NLT

When he finally came to his senses...

...I will go home to my Father and say, "Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you, and I am no longer worthy of being called your son. Please take me on as a hired man."...

...while he was still a long distance away, his father saw him coming. Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him...

...we must celebrate with a feast, for this son of mine was dead and has now returned to life. He was lost but now he is found.

REFLECTIONS

1. He had to come to his senses. You have to choose to wake up.

2. His father understood and loved him. God has never moved, you have. He has always been there, always waiting, always ready.

3. Despite all, the father took the first move. You take one step towards God, He will take a thousand steps towards you.

4. His father had the ministry of reconciliation. So should we as His children.

5. God is more happy when you are happy/when you are with Him, compared to all the things you can ever do for Him.
