Lk 15:20 (NIV)
βSo he got up and went to his father. 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.β
The prodigal sonβs story shows us that no failure, no shame, and no distance can erase the Fatherβs love. Even after wasting everything, he still belonged. The moment he turned back, the Father ran to meet him. Godβs love is greater than the worst chapter of your story.
God is not waiting to condemn youβHe is waiting to embrace you. Your story, no matter how broken, is not the end. Grace runs faster than guilt, and mercy always outshines mistakes. His arms are always open wider than the weight of your sin.
In Christ, you are not a stranger but a child of God. You belong to His family, you belong to His promises, and you belong in His loveβno matter your story. Your identity is not tied to your past but anchored in His unchanging acceptance.
