Relish every sermon at church. Taste the choice morsels in each Sabbath School class. Obtain nourishment for your starving soul. A spiritual banquet awaits you. Your loving Father will accept you as you are.
All good fathers are like that.
They long to provide that which will cause true growth and satisfy the hungering broken heart. This classic short story by Jesus is primarily about the compassionate character of our heavenly Father. Like honorable fathers today, God approaches sinners who turn to Him with open arms. He Flew Far to Foreign Fields and Frittered his Fortune with Faithless Friends. Fleeced by his Fellows and Facing Famine he Found himself in a Filthy Farm Field.
