The Love of a Father - Lk. 15:31-32

From yesterday's reading:

"His father said ti him, 'Look, dear son, you and I are very close, and everything I have is yours. We had to celebrate this happy day. For your brother was dead and has come back to life. He was lost but now is found!'" Lk. 15:31-32

This is such a great peek into the heart of God. Even though he makes sure his oldest son understands that there will definitely be rewards for his loyalty and obedience, the return of his youngest son is a cause for celebration no matter the circumstances. Our God is constantly searching for those who will turn back to him, and the MOMENT they do, he rushes to them welcoming them home -- the Bible even tells us that ALL of heaven rejoices! What an awesome God we serve, that no matter our sin, his longing for relationship with us eclipses all else.

Thank you God for loving me that much!
