"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
Sometimes we feel so guilty about some sin we have committed, some mistake we've made, some way we've mistreated others, that we wonder if we can ever bridge the distance to God again. Sometimes we feel so haunted by the past that we wonder how God could still love us. Sometimes we feel that we've so neglected our spiritual life that we're not sure why God would love us.
If you've ever wondered those things then this Scripture is for you. No many how many steps we take from Jesus, he's always just one turn away. That's what happened to this sinful son who had squandered the blessings his Father gave. When he turned to go home, the father ran to meet him with compassion, forgiveness, and love.
Know today that you are loved by a God of extravagant grace and love!
