Living Truth:
- Jesus told them this story: “A man had two sons. The younger son told his father, ‘I want my share of your estate now before you die.’ So his father agreed to divide his wealth between his sons. “A few days later this younger son packed all his belongings and moved to a distant land, and there he wasted all his money in wild living. About the time his money ran out, a great famine swept over the land, and he began to starve. He persuaded a local farmer to hire him, and the man sent him into his fields to feed the pigs. The young man became so hungry that even the pods he was feeding the pigs looked good to him. But no one gave him anything. “When he finally came to his senses, he said to himself, ‘At home even the hired servants have food enough to spare, and here I am dying of hunger! I will arise and return 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 servant.”’ “So he returned home to his father. And while he was still a long way off, his father saw him coming. Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him." Luke 15:11-20
- "All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the LORD laid on Him [Jesus Christ] the sins of us all." Isaiah 53:6
Prayer & Praise:
I have come to my senses like a prodigal son and hear Your voice calling me, Lord God Almighty. I return to You with a contrite, repentant heart. Lord Jesus, I praise You for revealing to me God's heart of love, grace, mercy, and compassion, which calls me to return to Him. I draw near to You this day, Abba Father, and praise You for embracing me, kissing me, and never forsaking me. I thank You in Jesus' mighty name.
