GLORIOUS GRACE! - 68

Luke 15:20 - So he set off and went to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him.

In the parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11–24), the father did not say one word about the loss or waste, though his son had indeed wasted his inheritance on riotous living. The father only saw his son’s home-coming as an opportunity to show him how much he loved him and to restore to him what he had lost.

Like the father in the parable, it is your heavenly Father’s desire to embrace you when you return to Him and show you how much you are loved. And it is His good pleasure to restore to you what you have lost. (Lk 15:22-23)

The truth is that the moment you come to Him, He immediately restores to you the robe of honour to cover your sins, the ring of authority to declare your position of power and dominion, and the sandals on your feet (which servants do not wear) to reinstate you as a son in His house.

Thought for the day!
The heavenly Father reassures you, if you return to Him, that you had never lost the position of son-ship. And He celebrates your return to Him because you are His beloved child.
