The father who ran

Jesus told a story about a son who took his share of the family money and ran far away. He wasted every bit of it. Soon he was hungry, dirty, and feeding pigs just to survive. He decided to walk home and say, Dad, I am sorry. I do not deserve to be your son anymore.

But while the son was still far down the road, his father spotted him. And the father ran. He threw his arms around his boy, kissed him, put the best robe on him, and threw a giant welcome home party.

Jesus told this story to show us what God is like. When we mess up and come back to say sorry, God does not cross his arms and frown. He runs to us.

While the son was still far away, his father saw him and was filled with love. He ran to him, threw his arms around him, and kissed him.

Luke 15:20

TomorrowA man is hurt on the road, and the hero is not who anyone expected.
