FATHER give me the portion of goods that falleth to me… (Luke 15:12a). The young man left home searching for what he thought he wanted. However, not long after leaving, his money was spent, and his friends were gone.
Meanwhile, the father’s heart ached; his son was unprotected. Life grew hard for the son; he slept where he could and had to eat with pigs. He decided, ‘I am going back to my father’s house’. His father had been praying for his son and believed he would return. After many days waiting, he saw an image up the road; it was his son. Happily, he ran, kissed his son’s neck, and prepared a feast; he was lost, but now he was home.
Man has a real need for GOD’S LOVE. It would please HIM if our search for life’s purpose began in HIM and ended with HIM. The enemy wants to trap us on the dead Search-to-Nowhere Road; devastation is waiting there. That is the path “That seems right but leads to destruction” (Proverbs 14:12).
GOD knew and saw every part of our life before we were born. HE loves us and wants us home with HIM despite our defiance.
No one is perfect, except ONE; that is JESUS CHRIST. When we honestly examine our heart, we may find a prodigal spirit in us. We too, sin and break fellowship with GOD; however, the FATHERS’ LOVE will meet us. Confessing our sins to GOD is not difficult; but it is required, and HE knows we sinned against HIM. But by confessing, GOD’S grace is extended to us again. After confessing to HIM, our fellowship is restored.
It may seem hard coming back after we sin; but it is not. Pray sincerely and ask, ‘LORD, please forgive me for my sins.’
If you slipped away, come home; GOD’S LOVE is waiting, and this time when you get there, stay in the FATHER’S HOUSE.
