(Jesus continued) “Now the elder son was in the field; and he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. And he called one of the servants and asked what this meant. And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him safe and sound.’” Luke 15:25, – 27
Lord, this story reminds me of the verses that tell us how heaven rejoices when one soul enters the fold.
Certainly this father wanted to rejoice over his son returning and it is obvious that he rejoiced in a very big way.
Thank You for always watching over us and calling us back when we are like this younger son and want to do what we think will make us happy.
Thank You for calling us back and reminding us of those errors throughout our life time.
Thank You that they help us think before we insist on our own way again.
Thank You for Your unconditional love and compassion.
We are forgiven. We are loved.
Thank You Lord.
