I was Lost, but Not Anymore

Scripture: Luke 15: [32] But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ ”

Observation: I started to cry when I read the story of the prodigal son. I’m not sure exactly why, it must be because for most of my life I was lost. Using up everything God has given me until there was nothing left. In desperation I turned to God, because there was no where else to go and he received and loved me. He should have turned his back but he didn’t.

Application: To help others find the joy and coming back home to their Father. That He will receive them with love and compassion. This is where we all belong, pending our lives with Him.

Prayer: Dear Father thank you for loving me and welcoming me back to your grace. Show me how to use the gifts and talents you have given me to draw others back to you.
