In Luke 15, Jesus shared a parable about the prodigal son who had left his home to waste his inheritance in prodigal living, that is, wasteful and reckless behavior. One of the main points of the parable was that when he returned to his father’s home penniless and destitute, his father had been waiting for him all along, ready to forgive him. The father was abundant in mercy, and when the son returned and asked for forgiveness, the father lavished his love on the one who was not worthy.. However, the father’s love was so great that he extended to him lavish mercy and love once the son asked for forgiveness. Our Heavenly Father is that father that is ready to forgive us, always abundant in mercy to all those who call upon Him. The enemy of our souls would have us believe that God will only punish us when we fall short, and will not forgive us, but this is a lie. He just doesn’t want us to reconnect with our Heavenly Father. Ignore those voices and come back home. He is waiting for you with open arms. God is Love! (1 John 4:8)
Psalms 86:5 “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,
And abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You.”
