A Father’s Love

‘But while he was still a long way off,
his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him;
he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him’
(Luke 15:20).

The father in the parable of the prodigal son reveals what God is like.
Jesus had been criticised for eating with the people whose lives were sinful.
He was welcoming them. Welcoming them as repentant and people who received
the forgiveness they needed. The son in his story makes a complete mess of his life because of sin.
But as he comes home full of repentance, his father does something that no father
in those days would do. He runs to him, embraces him, kissing him, welcomes him home
and restores him as his son. That is the love of God in its grace and glory.

Question for thought: Do I know the love of God?

Loving Lord, sometimes it’s hard to keep trusting you when faced with constant strife and persecution.
We pray for our sisters in the Dioceses of Kabba and Bukuru in Nigeria.
Keep them faithful and steadfast as they support the communities in which they live.
Protect them from danger we pray. We also pray for the Diocese of Adelaide
and for Rev. Dr Gethzi Devasagayam as she leads members there.  Amen
