“The Prodigal Father”

The familiar parable of the prodigal son paints an image of a wayward individual, who’s taken love for granted and squandered his blessings. The parable can teach us a lot about ourselves, as we often relate to the son. But the parable probably teaches us more about God than it does about us—God longs so much for us to share life with him. Even if we choose to walk away from him, he’s always ready to receive you back with open arms. If you turn to God, he’ll run to you.
