Going Home
Robert Frost wrote, "Home is the place where when you have to go there, they have to take you in." There's no place like home. No matter how bad we mess up or how disappointing life gets, it's the one place they have to take us in.
Jesus told of a wayward son who messed up big time, wasting all his dad had blessed him with. He became homeless and was so hungry he wanted to eat leftover slop fit only for animals. But when he came to his senses, he thought about home. He knew he didn't deserve to go there, but he went anyway. And his dad was so overwhelmed with joy he welcomed him home.
The dad represents God, and the wayward son represents you and me. It's Jesus' way of telling us that we all mess up--but nobody messes up so badly that when he decides to come home to the Lord, the Lord won't welcome him back to a right relationship with Him. Is it time for you to come home to the Lord?
