A Prodigal's Welcome


The story of the prodigal son is the story of when I choose, foolishly, to cast away the home I have with God for a cold and hungry exile.
Let me never hesitate to return and confess my sin, for I will always find the prodigal's welcome from a Father who loves me more than I can ever imagine.
Each day I get a new start on my life and an opportunity not to turn away from my Higher Power.
But people, places, situations and things quickly cause me to forget out of my own selflessness.
When I pause for a moment and just breathe, I can quickly ask for help to return His love.
I just have to do the things I should and not the things I should not.

A Prodigal Son

No matter how far I stray and how lost I feel, God the Father is always right there waiting for me with open arms.
I may feel sinful and unworthy of his love, but all I need to do is make a move toward him and he will run to meet me as his beloved son.
Let me run to receive his love.

Run to me in your mercy.
When I have departed far from you.
When I seek to return to your house.
When I have squandered the gifts you have given me.
Pursue me when I am far from you ,
that I may return to your loving arms.
