The Father’s Heart – LOVE AT ITS BEST: When You Do WELCOME The Prodigal HOME!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Genuine love of God that’s pure and remarkable, is to be intentional and unreservedly living and loving beyond walls and boundaries of comfort’s but in letting God be – by loving also the prodigals in spite of and irrespective, instead of playing the elder brother’s unhinged role of distrust towards the prodigals in all measures.<\/span><\/p>\n

For it’s while we are yet sinners that God’s love was shown to us without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. And God has given us such amount of His lavished gracious love by the Holy Spirit to enable us to do likewise in His grace as written:<\/span><\/p>\n

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us. 6 For when we were yet WITHOUT STRENGTH, in due time Christ DIED for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE toward us, in that, while we were YET SINNERS, Christ DIED for us”<\/em> Romans 5:5-8.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

So, let’s have such boundless love of God in fulfilling purpose to welcome home the prodigals and give them the opportunity to share in the fellowship of the brethren to enact and enhance the relationship with the Father God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be blessed in life and grace through this knowledge and understanding in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.<\/span><\/p>\n

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:<\/span><\/p>\n

“Then He said: \u201cA certain man had two sons.\u00a0 12 And the younger of them said to his father, \u2018Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.\u2019 So he divided to them his livelihood.\u00a0 13 And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living.\u00a0 14 But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want.\u00a0 15 Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.\u00a0 16 And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything. 17 \u201cBut when he came to himself, he said, \u2018How many of my father\u2019s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!\u00a0 18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, \u201cFather, I have sinned against heaven and before you,\u00a0 19 and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.\u201d\u2019 20 \u201cAnd he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.\u00a0 21 And the son said to him, \u2018Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.\u2019 22 \u201cBut the father said to his servants, \u2018Bring[b] out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.\u00a0 23 And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry;\u00a0 24 for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.\u2019 And they began to be merry. 25 \u201cNow his older son was in the field. And as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.\u00a0 26 So he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant.\u00a0 27 And he said to him, \u2018Your brother has come, and because he has received him safe and sound, your father has killed the fatted calf.\u2019 28 \u201cBut he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and pleaded with him.\u00a0 29 So he answered and said to his father, \u2018Lo, these many years I have been serving you; I never transgressed your commandment at any time; and yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends.\u00a0 30 But as soon as this son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with harlots, you killed the fatted calf for him.\u2019 31 \u201cAnd he said to him, \u2018Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.\u00a0 32 It was right that we should make merry and be glad, for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found” <\/em>Luke 15:11-32.
