Dad's Ramblings -- Parables of Jesus -- Welcome Home!

PARABLES OF JESUS – Welcome Home!
Luke 15:20
 
" 'And he arose and come to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.' "
 
The father must have constantly watched to the road leading home, longing for his son to return. Perhaps every day he thought, "Maybe today is the day my son will come back." There must have been a ache in his heart each night as he went to bed because his son had not yet returned. But he did not give up, but with vigilance and anticipation, he kept looking. When one day the father saw his son with bowed head trudging down the lane leading home, he ran to him and embraced him even before the son had a chance to ask forgiveness. Oh, how the father longs for his wayward child to return home.
 
TODAY'S THOUGHT: The Heavenly Father longs with great anticipation to welcome His wayward child home.
 
Have a hopeful day. Love you.
